DECAS BOTANICAL SYNERGIES'NUTRICRAN®AM
is an all natural antimicrobial ingredient
for the food preservation market. NUTRICRAN®AM
is a scientifically derived natural bio-preservative scientifically
shown to inhibit Listeria monocytogenes in beef
and fish. The proprietary blend is made up of DBS
cranberry powder and RAD Natural Technologies, Ltd. Origanox
oregano extract.
A recently published study determined that NUTRICRAN®AM
showed increased antimicrobial activity for inhibiting
Listeria monocytogenes and that the synergistic
natural food-grade ingredient may provide an additional
protection beyond that of physical and other chemical
treatment methods. (Lin, et al., Applied and Environmental
Microbiology, Sept. 2004).
Listeria
monocytogenes is a bacterium found in many
food products and has been associated with food-borne
outbreaks in North America and Europe. Listeria
often lives in cold moist environments and, according
to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), is responsible
for 3.8 percent of food-borne illness-related hospitalizations
and 27.6 percent of food-borne disease-related deaths.
NUTRICRAN®AM
is a quality GRAS-approved standardized product with uniform
color, content, and flow. The NUTRICRAN®
logo is available via a royalty-free licensing agreement.
Use of the NUTRICRAN®
trademark differentiates products from other food products,
and assures consumers that it is supported by scientific
research, and is processed in a GMP manufacturing facility.
