Polyphenols properties are of interest for the Pet Food industry.

Due to their disinfectant, antibacterial and antifungic properties, they can improve the conservation of the pet food products.
Work and studies showed the role of natural onion extracts rich in quercetin on the inhibition of lipases that is implied in the rancidity phenomenon.
The Quercetin, in onion peels polyphenolic extracts, and the chicoric acid, in salads polyphenolic extracts, have a very high antioxydant capability that enables them to trap free radicals produced at the first stage of oxidation reactions. This allows for the prolongation of food matrices shelf life.

SCALIME Nutrition produces and sells polyphenolic extracts of salad and onion peels whose polyphenol content ranges from 10 to 30% for onion and from 10 to 30% for salad. These extracts are obtained through physical steps process under strict alimentary conditions.
