Perstorp focuses on esterified product range at Eurotier


During the Eurotier 2012 held in November feed additives producer Perstorp officially launched ProPhorce™ SR a novel form of butyric acid with specific release throughout the digestive tract. ProPhorce™ SR has all of the well-known benefits of butyric acid in terms of digestion and intestinal health, but none of its smell issues. These desirable product properties are realised because ProPhorce™ SR consists of butyrins, which are glycerol esters of butyric acid. The esterifying process ensures the absence of the typical butyric acid odour and a superior delivery of the active components throughout the digestive tract.

“As a matter of fact, at Eurotier we focused primarily on the promotion of both our products using this esterification technology” states Edwin van Kol, Global Marketing manager at Perstorp’s feed additive division. “In addition to the esterified butyric acid that is ProPhorce™ SR, we have also put a strong emphasis on another recent addition to our product portfolio that uses the same esterifying process. Propionic acid is the most commonly used mould inhibitor for feed and grains. ProSid™ MI 700 is a buffered form of propionic acid that also uses the esterifying technology to greatly reduce the corrosivity of propionic acid and to tackle the odour issues. The reduced corrosivity means that there are no ADR restrictions to ProSid™ MI 700. Because it evaporates slower than pure propionic acid the effects of ProSid™ MI 700 against moulds actually last longer than those of pure propionic acid.”

The introduction of these products to the market is a substantial step for feed additives and grain preservatives in general. Perstorp is confident that these products and further developments in these fields will solidify their position as a reliable and innovative supplier for the feed industry.
