FRESHMIX AF is a preserver effective against deterioration of foodstuff such as undesired mold, yeast and fungi which directly affect the product and its quality.
FRESHMIX AF is a natural organic acid-based premix preservative engineered for effective protection against the deterioration of foodstuffs caused by undesired mold, yeast and fungi. Composed entirely of food-grade organic acids, FRESHMIX AF works by lowering surface pH and disrupting microbial cell function — keeping products mold-free for a minimum of 10 days, extending up to 45 days when the cold chain is maintained. Its completely natural composition means it is not classified within standard preservative groups under regulatory analysis, offering a clean-label advantage.

Application
Dosage Rate
Method
🧀 Yellow Cheese
0.1–0.2 % dissolved in 1–2 L water
Add to boiler (fuze/melting pot) prior to the curd process. Optional surface pulverization after forming.
🧈 Butter & Cream
0.04–0.05 % 40–50 g per 100 kg cream
Add to mass cream during the churning process to prevent mould, yeast and fungi formation.
🧫 Surface Control
Solution spray
After cheese is formed in hoop, pulverize FRESHMIX solution onto the entire surface until moistened, then package.
🥛 Yoghurt
0.025–0.03 % 250–300 g per 1 ton
Add to milk before yeasting. Additionally, pulverize solution on surface before closing covers (when cold) post-incubation.
🥤 Buttermilk Drink
0.02–0.025 % 200–250 g per 1 ton
Add to milk before yeasting for protection against yeast, mould and fungi.
