Tocobiol® Rosemary for Sauces & Dressings
Natural Antioxidant for Food Applications
More information
Introduction
Rosemary extract, obtained from Rosmarinus officinalis leaves, is a natural and effective antioxidant widely used in the food industry. Rich in phenolic compounds such as carnosic acid and carnosol, it helps protect oils, fats, and complex food systems from oxidative rancidity, color degradation, and flavor loss. Its chemical structure is highly stable, maintaining efficacy even at high processing temperatures (190–240 °C), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and culinary applications.
Natural antioxidants like rosemary extract are increasingly preferred by manufacturers seeking clean label solutions, as they provide effective oxidative protection without synthetic additives.
Regulatory Approval – E392
Rosemary extract is approved as a food antioxidant under the E-number E392 in multiple countries, confirming its safety and regulatory compliance for food applications. This approval allows food manufacturers to use it in products such as:
- Oils and fats
- Sauces and dressings
- Processed meats and poultry
- Snacks and baked goods
- Spices and seasonings
