DHQ in Food Industry

21 Feb, 2018

The DHQ application in the food industry does not modify organoleptic properties of the food products.

Adding to pre-packed foods to cause a health benefit as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, accelerates stability over 30 weeks, corresponding to 5 years of normal shelf life.

DHQ can reduce the lipid peroxidation, with the prolongation of food products shelf life in 1.5 – 4.0 times. The presence of even small amounts of DHQ prevents an "oxidative stress" and also helps to protect the body against free radicals.
