Anti oxidant agents for addtive masterbatch
Addyona is the manufacturer of Anti oxidant agents in China for masterbatch.Antioxidant agents are compounds, such as vitamins C and E, selenium, and polyphenols, that protect cells from damage by neutralizing free radicals, which are unstable, harmful molecules. They act as electron donors to terminate chain reactions that cause oxidative stress, a process linked to aging, cancer, and heart disease.
Key Types of Antioxidants
Antioxidants are classified by their source or mechanism:
◾️ Natural (Dietary / Endogenous) :
Examples include vitamins A, C, and E, carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene), polyphenols (flavonoids, anthocyanins), and glutathione.
◾️ Enzymatic :
Produced by the body, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.
◾️ Synthetic :
Used in food processing to prevent rancidity, such as BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), and TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone).
◾️ Universal :
Alpha-lipoic acid, which is both fat- and water-soluble.
Functions and Sources
◾️ Health Benefits :
They repair DNA, maintain cell health, and prevent, or even reverse, damage from reactive oxygen species.
◾️ Food Sources :
Berries (strawberries, blueberries), nuts, whole grains, fruits (oranges, apricots), vegetables (tomatoes, peppers), and spices like rosemary.
◾️ Mechanism :
They act as reducing agents, donating electrons to free radicals without becoming unstable themselves.
Important Considerations
◾️ Not Interchangeable :
Each antioxidant has unique chemical properties and functions, notes The Nutrition Source.
◾️ Pro-oxidant Risk :
Some, if misused, can become pro-oxidants, potentially causing harm rather than preventing it.
◾️ Synergy :
Multiple antioxidants often work better together than alone.
