XtendLife, the preservation of pre-packaged bread-making products A new alternative to the use of artificial preservatives. Xtend Life® improves the shelf life of your products.
At Europain 08, the Word Bakery Exhibition, XtendLife won an Innovation Award.
Xtendlife is a formulation based on the preservation properties of fermented flour combined with an acidity regulator. It guarantees the absence of mould in sandwich bread up to the use-by date, regardless of the time of year or the prevailing climatic conditions.
Xtendlife extends the shelf life of pre-packaged bread-making products with no need to increase the dosage of your usual preservatives, reducing the delivery frequency to your sales outlets and opening up new markets.
Xtendlife is available in three different formulation types, each adapted to differing requirements:
Xtendlife is not considered as a preservative. Its labelling states for instance "dehydrated fermented flour, acidity corrector... ". This is a real benefit at a time when consumers are paying increasing attention to what they eat.
