I've read somewhere that they are organic compounds. Also, given the choice of using Vit E or the parabens as a preservative, which is a better recommendation? and what percentages do I use for each type? Would appreciate some guidance on this! Cheers Audrey Audrey Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 4:39 PM   Hi Audrey, These are not natural preservatives, they are synthetic. Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and prevents a product going rancid. Does not act as a preservative to prevent bacteria growing. Parabens are synthetic. If you click on our website and go to raw material and then presrvatives you have a choice to choose from. Plantaserv P is a synthetic preservative with no scent and plantaserv N,Q ans S are completely natural. 1% to 3% is used to sufficiently preserve a product. There is a description for each preservative. Have a read through each one. We have some great books with recipes and instructions. Have a look throuhg our books buy clicking on to books icon and have a browse. K Nadine displaying 1 to 1 (of 1 messages)   Home | Specifications | Recipes | Forum | Links Copyright © 2006 ndaroma.com
