What Are Preservatives & Why They Matter in Manufacturing

From farm to fridge, the quality and shelf-life of food matters. And, every day, we work with food manufacturers to determine the right blend of preservatives for their products. Foods that lasts longer means less waste, cost savings for consumers – and a more reliable, safer food supply. For hundreds of years, food growers have used salt, fermentation and other additives to extend the life of their products. Today, many of these same methods and ingredients continue to be used in food manufacturing as part of broader preservation systems.



Of course, food is just one of the consumer goods that uses preservatives. Beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals all utilize preservatives to prevent spoilage, extend shelf life and ensure long-term product quality. Many of these also incorporate antimicrobial agents to protect against bacteria and fungal growth.

What Are Food Additives & How Can They Enhance Your Products?

Food additives have come a long way—and we've been part of that evolution. While the word “additive” can sometimes carry a negative connotation with consumers, the right preservatives, from a trusted supplier, offer clear advantages: enhanced flavor, improved texture, and extended shelf life. At Norben, our extensive selection of dry and liquid additives is designed to help you elevate product quality in ways that are not only cost-effective, but also highly marketable.
