Light induced oxidation causes degradation reactions in dairy products and a decrease in nutritional quality. Vitamins A, B2 (riboflavin), D and amino acids become lost, lipids (milk fats) oxidize, and off-flavors can develop due to the resulting decomposition products. As a result, light induced oxidation is minimized and properties and taste are preserved, even at the lengthy ambient shelf life common with UHT liquid dairy products.

In pyrolysis, the polymer matrix is oxidized at temperatures >500°C, recovering energy plus the fibers.

The precursor undergoes several processes including carbonization and oxidation which produces high tensile & modulus carbon fiber filaments.

The additive is particularly suitable in packaging for ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, as these types of products have a longer shelf life, making them more susceptible to light-induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions.
