Vantage Food Oil-based release agents


EXPERTISE IN RELEASE AGENTS

Our oil-based release agents are engineered for consistent, high-volume depanning performance. Formulated to provide uniform coverage across pan geometries, they help bakers deliver virtually reject-free finished products — run after run. We offer a full range of viscosity profiles and base oil blends to match your process conditions and application method.

OptiRelease™ — next-generation release

A new suite of release agents designed for industrial bakers. The OptiRelease portfolio can improve release strength by up to four times that of canola oil alone, setting new standards in baking efficiency and pan longevity.

OptiRelease Bread

Consistent high-performance release, extended pan life, and waste reduction for industrial bread lines. Available variants: NB, AF, NG.

 

OptiRelease Cake

Superior release performance and reduced operational downtime for cake and batter-based production lines. Available variants: NB, AF, NG.

 

OptiRelease Pizza

Coming soon.

Our broader oil-based portfolio also covers: breads, cakes, pizzas, divider oils, flavored oils, trough greases, slicer blade oils, waffles & cones, nutritional bar release, band oven oils, and specialty release oils.

Vantage Food Amarnakote™ water-based release agents


Amarnakote is a family of water-based release agents engineered for conveyors and high-heat applications. The water-based formula actively conditions production surfaces over time — reducing baked-on buildup, cutting oily overspray on floors, and lowering the frequency of manual pan cleaning. The result is a safer production environment and measurable gains in line uptime.

Amarnakote for tunnel ovens

Ideal for pretzels, bagels, pizzas, buns, and rolls. Keeps hearth plates clean and eliminates downtime by conditioning production surfaces for a cleaner, more consistent release — all day, every day.

 

Amarnakote for ready-to-eat cereals

Conditions production surfaces to eliminate material handling issues, reduce downtime and waste, and lower labor costs for high-volume RTE cereal lines.

 

Amarnakote for dried fruits

Prevents fruit from sticking to belt and to each other. Reduces waste and downtime while improving coloration and moisture content consistency.

 

Amarnakote for meat snacks & jerky

Prevents jerky from clinging to racks and to each other, reducing downtime, waste, and labor costs for meat snack production lines.

 

ALSO IN OUR RELEASE AGENT PORTFOLIO

Divider oil (Exalube) for consistent dough handling and extended pan glaze life; food-grade white oils for a variety of food contact applications (USP/NF certified).

Perma-Frost No-Boil

Agar-based stabilizer that eliminates the boil step entirely — improving production safety, increasing line speed, and delivering crack-free, weep-resistant glazes with extended shelf life. Ideal for high-volume donut operations and commercial bakeries where safety and throughput are critical.

 

Stabilgel Plus

Concentrated stabilizer solution formulated for snack cakes, honey buns, and other baked or fried applications.

 

Vantage Food Emulsifiers
