Marine sulphated polysaccharides (MSP®) are complex carbohydrate molecules extracted from the cell walls of green and red macroalgae. Sulphated polysaccharides are carbohydrates consisting of complex sugars to which sulphur atoms are attached.  Different from non-sulphated polysaccharides like yeast β-glucans, the negative charge of sulphate groups acts as polyanions, facilitating ion transport near cell surface.

They bind strongly to cationic proteins such as cytokines, growth factors and viral proteins), directly influencing biological activities. Desulfation (removing sulphate groups) eliminates or drastically reduces immunostimulatory effects, proving the sulphate moiety is critical for function. The specific sulphate pattern determines which receptors are activated and what immune response is triggered, resulting in distinct signalling pathways and biological outcomes.

In Aquaculture industry, MSP® has been used as the functional feed additive providing multiple benefits:

Growth promotion: improves weight gain and feed conversion.

Immunity enhancement: upregulates immune genes and increases disease resistance.

Antioxidant support: activates endogenous antioxidant systems.

Antiviral protection: offers a crucial tool against major viral pathogens in aquaculture. It can block viral entry by mimicking host cell receptors and inhibit viral replication after infection. It also stimulates innate immunity to enhance the host’s antiviral state.

For Salmon, adding 2 -3 kg Algimun /MT feed could significantly decrease gills damage and delay the need for the vet treatments due to Ameobic gills disease (AGD) infection. It is also reported to increase outer barriers-mucus integrity and increase resistance against parasites.

For shrimp, adding 3-5 kg Algimun/MT feed could strength natural defences for higher survival rate.

It is well-known that innate immunity is the non-specific, immediate defence that fish or shrimps rely on heavily. It consists of physical barriers such as skin and gills, circulating enzymes (Lysozymes), Phagocytic cells that kill via oxidative bursts (ROS) and granule enzymes that produce bleach. Figure 1 showed that adding 3 kg Algiemun/MT to the feed of Juvenile Olive flounder, Gilthead seabream and Red tilapia, respectively, significantly improved the innate immune response and bactericidal activities.

With its white crystalline appearance and high solubility in water, Sodium Sulphate is a practical and cost-effective ingredient for manufacturers seeking reliable performance in high-volume industrial applications. PubChem identifies Sodium Sulphate as an inorganic compound with the formula Na₂SO₄, noting its use in soaps and detergents, glass, paper and pulp, and textile dyeing and printing.

What is Sodium Sulphate?

Sodium Sulphate occurs in nature as the mineral mirabilite and can also be found in the waters of many natural brines and lakes. Today, it is also manufactured as a by-product of several industrial processes.

Commercially, Sodium Sulphate is commonly available in anhydrous form as a white, crystalline, free-flowing solid, making it easy to handle across many industrial applications.

Common Uses and Applications

Sodium Sulphate is used across several key industries where consistency, solubility and process performance are important.

Common applications include:

Functional Benefits for Manufacturers

For manufacturers, Sodium Sulphate offers several practical advantages:

Supporting Detergent and Cleaning Product Manufacture

One of the most recognised uses of Sodium Sulphate is in the detergent industry, particularly in powdered laundry detergents. In these applications, Sodium Sulphate can be used as a filler, carrier or processing aid, helping support product flow, consistency and ease of handling.

It is often used instead of common salt, or Sodium Chloride, because it can serve a similar formulation purpose without the corrosive effects associated with chlorides.

While the cleaning products sector has evolved with the growth of compact liquids, capsules and concentrated formats, Sodium Sulphate remains relevant in powdered formulations where dry blending, bulk density and formulation structure are important.

Its compatibility with many detergent ingredients makes it a useful option for manufacturers producing household, institutional and industrial cleaning products.

Role in Glass Manufacturing

In glass production, Sodium Sulphate is used as a fining agent. During the melting process, small gas bubbles can become trapped in molten glass. Sodium Sulphate can assist in removing these bubbles, helping improve clarity and overall glass quality.

This makes it relevant to the manufacture of container glass, flat glass and other high-volume glass products where consistency, transparency and process control are important.

Textile Dyeing and Colour Consistency

Sodium Sulphate also plays an important role in textile processing, particularly in dyeing. It can help increase the ionic strength of dye baths, supporting more even dye uptake and helping colour penetrate textile fibres consistently.

For textile manufacturers, this can assist with shade uniformity, colour strength and repeatability across production batches. In a sector where colour consistency is critical to product quality, Sodium Sulphate remains a useful auxiliary ingredient.

Reliable Supply for Industrial Manufacturers

Redox supplies Sodium Sulphate in a variety of pack sizes, complementing the wide range of industrial chemicals supplied to manufacturers across Australia, New Zealand and international markets.

With extensive sourcing capability, local warehousing, product documentation and experienced industry teams, Redox is well placed to support manufacturers requiring consistent supply and technical guidance.

Wettable sulphur needs to stay evenly dispersed in the spray tank. When it does not, sulphur particles can settle quickly, leaving sediment at the bottom of the tank and creating uneven product distribution during application.

SOLAWIT 80-DF is a sulphur 80% WDG / DF / WG formulation from Solar Chemferts, supplied in micronised dry flowable form. When added to water, it forms an even suspension that can be sprayed without dusting or nozzle blockage.

Why Suspension Stability Matters

Wettable sulphur does not dissolve in water. It remains suspended as fine solid particles throughout the spray solution.

If those particles settle too quickly, growers may need constant agitation to keep the product moving through the tank. This can lead to uneven application, sediment build-up and more handling issues during spraying.

A stable suspension helps keep the sulphur distributed more evenly, making spray application cleaner and more consistent.

The SOLAWIT 80-DF Difference

SOLAWIT 80-DF has been developed as a micronised dry flowable sulphur formulation.

According to Solar Chemferts, the product disperses rapidly when added to water and forms an even suspension that can be sprayed immediately. The granules are designed to disperse through the porosity of the inner walls, helping reduce clogging and making application easier without dusting.

For growers and applicators, this means a sulphur product that is easier to mix, easier to spray and less likely to cause common tank-handling issues.

Key Benefits of SOLAWIT 80-DF

SOLAWIT 80-DF offers several benefits for agricultural use:

Sulphur in Crop Production

Sulphur is an important plant nutrient after nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. In agricultural systems, it plays a role in plant growth, nutrient uptake and chlorophyll formation.

For growers, the value of a wettable sulphur product is not only in the sulphur content, but also in how well it handles in the tank. A product that disperses evenly, applies cleanly and reduces dust can make spraying more straightforward and consistent.

As growers navigate the twin demands of productivity and sustainability, the fertiliser choices they make at planting time have never mattered more. Redox is meeting that challenge head-on with a range of certified organic-allowed granular Phosphorus and Potassium inputs, including Palm Bunch Ash and Guano, that deliver genuine agronomic results without compromising your certification status or your soil’s long-term health.

Palm Bunch Ash: A Potassium-Rich Soil Amendment

Phosphorus and Potassium are two of the three macronutrients every crop cannot live without. Phosphorus underpins root establishment, energy transfer, and cell division, the foundations of a strong, high-yielding plant. Potassium governs water regulation, sugar transport, stalk strength, and resistance to disease and environmental stress. In intensive farming systems, both are routinely depleted, and replenishing them without resorting to synthetic salts is one of the central challenges of organic and sustainable production.

The good news? Nature has already solved this problem. Two of the most effective P&K sources on earth are entirely natural, readily available in granular form, and now accessible through Redox.

Palm Bunch Ash: Nature’s Potassium Powerhouse

Palm Bunch Ash (PBA) is produced by incinerating empty oil palm fruit bunches at high temperatures, concentrating the mineral content of the plant into a potassium-rich ash. With K₂O levels commonly reaching 35% or more, and in granular 2-5mm form, it’s never been easier to apply.

Redox supplies organic-allowed granular P&K inputs, including Palm Bunch Ash and Guano, to support sustainable crop nutrition and soil health-focused farming programs.

Guano: Ancient Phosphorus, Modern Results

Long before synthetic fertilisers existed, guano, the accumulated excrement of seabirds and bats, was the most prized fertiliser on earth. Empires were built and wars were fought over access to it. Modern growers are rediscovering why.

Getting the Most from Your Organic P&K Program

Palm Bunch Ash and Guano work exceptionally well together. PBA anchors the potassium component while Guano covers the phosphorus nutrition. Used alongside a balanced nitrogen source, they address the full macronutrient spectrum in a completely organic, soil-building program. For growers on acidic soils, common across much of Australia, the pH-buffering properties of PBA deliver an additional benefit synthetic P&K sources simply cannot match.

Talk to Redox About Your P&K Requirements

Whether you’re managing a broadacre grain program, a horticultural enterprise, or a certified organic operation, Redox can supply granular Palm Bunch Ash and Guano to match your agronomic needs and your values.

Contact the Redox crop production team today to discuss supply volumes, application recommendations, and how these organic-allowed inputs can be integrated into your next fertiliser program.

In pet food, arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid, and it is consumed by two major pathways. The first is creatine synthesis, catalysed by the enzyme: Arginine-glycine aminotransferase (AGAT), which produces guanidinoacetate and ornithine. This occurs primarily in the kidney. The second is the urea cycle, catalysed by arginase in the liver, which produces urea and ornithine.

Crucially, both pathways consume arginine and produce ornithine, which can regenerate arginine via urea cycle. Different from dog, cats have very high constitutive AGAT activity, meaning they constantly use arginine for creatine synthesis. Consequently, cats have an absolute dietary requirement for arginine, whereas dogs have a conditional requirement and can slowly synthesize arginine within the body. Cats develop hyperammonemia within 2 to 6 hours of an arginine deficient meal, while dog may take days to weeks to show reduced growth or mild hyperammonemia. Clinically, arginine -deficient cats exhibit vomiting, ataxia, and death, whereas deficient dogs show primarily reduced growth.

There are six arginine deficiency risk factors in pet food.

  1. Plant-based and single-source protein diet meal

Certain protein sources are inherently low in arginine or have poor arginine digestibility. Corn gluten meal is naturally low arginine and requires supplementation. It poses a high risk for cats and moderate risk for dogs. Pea protein has moderate arginine contents, but methionine is limiting, and arginine: glycine ratio may be suboptimal. Soy protein concentrates usually have adequate arginine, but methionine is first limiting. Faba bean protein had the lowest methionine score, but arginine itself is not limiting.

  1. High-carbohydrate, low-meat formulation

Vegetarian or vegan pet food that rely on exclusively on plant protein without complementary sources risk arginine inadequacy, particularly for cats. The solution is to supplement L-Arginine.

  1. Home-prepared and raw diets   

Improperly formulated raw diets using a single meat source (for example, only chicken breast without organs) may be arginine deficient. Muscle meat contains arginine but at lower concentrations than organs like liver, which is arginine rich.

  1. Renal or hepatic disease (Functional deficiency)

In chronic kidney disease, some research suggests that arginine supplementation my improve glomerular filtration. In liver insufficiency, reduced urea cycle capacity increases vulnerability to even marginal arginine deficiency.

  1. Rapid growth and high metabolic demand  

Kittens and puppies have higher arginine requirements per kilograms of body weight. Similarly, lactating queens and dams have elevated protein turnover and arginine demand.

  1. AAFCO minimum requirements

On a dry matter basis, the AAFCO minimum arginine for cats in growth or reproduction is 1.25%, and for adult maintenance, it is 1.04%.  For dogs, growth/reproduction requires at least 0.62%, and adult Maintenance requires 0.51%. A survey of 55 commercial pet foods in South Korea found average arginine content of 1.79% in cat foods and 1.37 in dog foods. Therefore, deficiency is rare in commercial diets but a real risk in improperly formulated home-prepared or vegan diets.

In practice, usually supplementation of L-Arginine could achieve optimal arginine levels in pet food to (1) prevent hyperammonemia in high protein diets; (2) support creatine synthesis without compromising the urea cycle, as adequate arginine suppliers both pathways simultaneously; (3)enable nitric oxide production for vasodilation, immune function, and neurotransmission; (4) support growth and reproduction, as puppies and kittens have higher arginine demand per kilogram body weight.

Australian beef producers continue to face persistent fly pressure, with buffalo fly, bush fly and other nuisance fly species affecting animal comfort, grazing behaviour and productivity. At the same time, feed manufacturers, premix companies and livestock nutrition customers are looking for practical feed-based support options that can complement conventional fly management programs.

Through customer feedback and internal technical review, Redox identified a clear gap in the market: conventional garlic powder and garlic oil extracts are often discussed for feed-based fly support, but their garlic-active sulphur profile can be inconsistent, unstable and difficult to formulate with confidence.

Garlicin 25% was developed to help address this challenge.

Garlicin 25% is an allicin-equivalent garlic-active extract, standardised to provide a 25% allicin-equivalent functional profile for use in animal feed, premixes, mineral supplements and livestock nutrition applications.

Designed to provide the functional benefits associated with high-strength garlic actives, Garlicin 25% offers a more consistent and controlled garlic-active sulphur compound profile compared with conventional garlic powder or garlic oil extract.

For feed manufacturers, premix companies, supplement brands and livestock nutrition customers, Garlicin 25% provides a practical ingredient option for feed-based programs where consistency, stability and functional positioning are important.

The Market Challenge: Fly Pressure and Consistency

Fly pressure remains a significant issue for Australian beef producers, particularly where buffalo fly, bush fly and other nuisance fly species affect animal comfort and productivity.

Persistent fly irritation can contribute to:

Traditional fly management methods such as pour-ons, sprays and ear tags remain important parts of integrated livestock management. However, resistance concerns, shorter efficacy periods, residue management and changes in available chemistry have increased interest in complementary feed-based support options.

Garlicin 25% is positioned as a supportive nutrition ingredient for customers seeking non-pour-on options as part of broader livestock management programs.

The Redox Response

Redox worked with internal animal nutrition, product management, sales and supplier partners to identify a more consistent garlic-active option for feed-based livestock programs.

The result is Garlicin 25% — a standardised allicin-equivalent garlic-active extract designed to provide improved consistency compared with conventional garlic powder or garlic oil extract.

This reflects Redox’s broader ability to identify customer challenges, work through the technical and commercial pathway, source suitable supply partners and bring practical ingredient solutions to market.

What is Garlicin 25%?

Natural garlic does not contain stable allicin in intact cloves. Allicin is formed when fresh garlic is crushed, chopped or damaged, allowing the enzyme alliinase to convert alliin into allicin.

However, natural allicin is unstable, difficult to preserve and can be affected by processing, heat and variation between garlic sources. This can make conventional garlic ingredients less consistent as finished feed ingredients.

Garlicin 25% addresses this issue by providing an allicin-equivalent garlic-active extract standardised to a 25% allicin-equivalent functional profile. It is designed to deliver a consistent garlic-active sulphur compound profile for use in feed formulation and livestock nutrition programs.

Active Garlic Sulphur Compounds

Garlicin 25% provides a controlled garlic-active sulphur compound profile, including:

These compounds are associated with garlic’s characteristic odour and functional activity, making Garlicin 25% a more targeted alternative to conventional garlic powder.

Research Context: Garlic Actives in Ruminant Nutrition

Garlic products have been studied in ruminant nutrition due to their organosulphur compounds, including allicin-related and diallyl sulphide compounds. Published reviews have reported potential roles for garlic products in supporting rumen function, antioxidant status, immune response, parasite pressure, methane reduction, growth performance and product quality.

However, outcomes can vary depending on the garlic form used, active compound profile, dosage, animal species, diet, processing conditions and application method. This reinforces the importance of using a standardised garlic-active ingredient where formulation consistency is required.

Garlicin 25% has been developed to provide a controlled allicin-equivalent garlic-active sulphur profile for customers seeking a more consistent option than conventional garlic powder or garlic oil extract.

Common Application Areas

Garlicin 25% may be considered for a range of livestock nutrition and feed-based applications, including:

Functional Positioning in Livestock Nutrition

Garlicin 25% may be used in livestock nutrition programs seeking support for:

Key Advantages for Feed and Premix Manufacturers

For feed manufacturers, premixers and formulators, Garlicin 25% offers several practical advantages:

Processing Stability

Based on supplier-indicated guidance, Garlicin 25% offers practical temperature resistance under short-term processing conditions. Final suitability should be assessed by the customer based on feed format, processing temperature, exposure time, hot molasses use, block manufacturing conditions and target application.

This guidance should be considered in relation to the customer’s feed format, processing conditions, exposure time and target application.

Supporting Modern Livestock Nutrition Programs

As livestock producers and feed manufacturers look for practical ways to support animal comfort, wellbeing and production efficiency, feed-based functional ingredients continue to play an important role.

Garlicin 25% provides a consistent and standardised garlic-active ingredient for customers developing feed, premix, mineral supplement or animal health blend products. Its controlled active profile makes it particularly relevant where conventional garlic powder may not provide the consistency, stability or processing performance required for commercial feed applications.

As consumer demand continues to shift toward reduced-sugar, low-kilojoule and better-for-you products, manufacturers are increasingly seeking ingredients that can deliver sweetness without compromising taste, stability or formulation performance. Sucralose has become one of the most widely used high-intensity sweeteners in the global food and beverage industry, valued for its strong sweetness profile, low use rate and versatility across a wide range of applications.

Sucralose, also known as food additive 955, is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar and contains no kilojoules. Because it is used in very small quantities, it can help manufacturers reduce sugar content while maintaining the sweetness consumers expect. Food Standards Australia New Zealand notes that intense sweeteners are commonly used to replace sugar in low- or reduced-sugar foods and sugar-free products.

What is Sucralose?

Sucralose is a high-intensity sweetener made from sugar through a process that replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with chlorine groups. This change gives sucralose its intense sweetness while making it suitable for use in a broad range of food and drink formulations.

It is commonly used where manufacturers need a sweet, clean-tasting profile without the bulk, energy contribution or functionality of conventional sugar. Its high sweetness intensity means only a very small amount is required to achieve the desired sweetness level, making it a useful option in compact, cost-effective formulations.

Common Uses and Applications of Sucralose

Sucralose is used across a wide range of industries, particularly where sugar reduction, kilojoule reduction or flavour optimisation is required.

Common applications include:

Functional Benefits for Manufacturers

For manufacturers, sucralose offers several practical formulation advantages:

Sucralose is widely used in reduced-sugar and low-kilojoule beverage formulations, helping manufacturers deliver sweetness while meeting consumer demand for lighter, better-for-you options.

Sucralose is widely used in reduced-sugar and low-kilojoule beverage formulations, helping manufacturers deliver sweetness while meeting consumer demand for lighter, better-for-you options.

Supporting Sugar Reduction and Better-For-You Product Development

Across the food and beverage sector, sugar reduction remains a major driver of reformulation. Consumers are increasingly seeking products that offer familiar taste with lower sugar, fewer kilojoules and improved nutritional positioning.

Sucralose can help support this shift by enabling manufacturers to reduce added sugar while retaining sweetness. This is especially relevant in beverages, flavoured dairy, nutritional powders, sauces, desserts and snack products where sweetness is central to the consumer experience.

For brands working in competitive retail categories, sucralose can also help support front-of-pack claims such as reduced sugar, no added sugar, low kilojoule or sugar-free, subject to the relevant regulatory and labelling requirements in each market.

Innovation in Sweetener Systems

Modern product development rarely relies on one ingredient alone. Increasingly, sucralose is being used as part of more advanced sweetener systems, where it may be blended with other high-intensity sweeteners, sugar alcohols, fibres, natural flavours or bulking agents to achieve a more balanced result.

These systems can help manufacturers address some of the challenges of sugar reduction, including mouthfeel, sweetness onset, lingering sweetness and flavour masking. In protein powders, ready-to-drink beverages and functional foods, sucralose can be used to help offset bitterness from active ingredients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids or botanical extracts.

Innovation is also occurring in clean-label adjacent formulations, where manufacturers are working to reduce total sugar while still delivering taste and texture consumers recognise. While sucralose itself is an artificial sweetener, its high efficiency can make it a practical tool in reformulation strategies focused on reducing sugar, kilojoules and ingredient load.

Reliable Supply for Food, Beverage and Nutrition Manufacturers

Whether used in beverages, nutritional powders, confectionery, dairy, bakery, oral care or pharmaceutical applications, sucralose offers manufacturers a flexible and effective way to deliver sweetness while supporting reduced-sugar and low-kilojoule product development.

Redox supplies sucralose and a wide range of ingredients to the food, beverage, nutrition, personal care and pharmaceutical sectors, supported by technical knowledge, global sourcing capability and reliable local distribution.
