Aquaculture

Feed for the aquaculture industry contains a high concentration of highly unsaturated lipids, essential nutrients, and valuable pigments that are prone to oxidation.

Xtendra® Antioxidants, which are based on BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and ascorbyl palmitate, as well as combinations of natural and synthetic antioxidants, are available in both dry and liquid forms.

BHA stands out as the preferred synthetic antioxidant due to its exceptional performance in aquafeed and its rapid metabolism. Data from Norway regarding farmed salmon has demonstrated that, following a 2-week withdrawal period, BHA was undetectable in both fish fillets and livers.
