Effectiveness of AGELESS™

AGELESS™ prevents food colors from changing.

Oxidation of food causes its color to change. Natural pigments such as the chlorophyll (green) and carotenoids (red) change their colors rapidly, which is promoted by light and heat. Packaging with AGELESS™ prevents the discoloration of food.
