(Food-Beverage-News.Com, April 29, 2017 ) About natural antioxidants Antioxidants are molecules that inhibit oxidation of other molecules by countering free radicals. A free radical is composed of oxygen in a highly reactive form with an unpaired electron that is capable of capturing electrons from other substances to neutralize itself. Such free radicals are harmful to human tissues and are major contributors to diseases such as cancer. A major share of antioxidants that are available in the market are chemically synthesized; however, the growing demand from consumers for natural products is driving the demand for natural antioxidants. Natural antioxidants are derived from renewable and biodegradable sources such as plants and vegetable oil. Vitamin C and E, carotenoids, and polyphenols are the major types of natural antioxidants that are used in applications such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed.
