Rosavel™ Rosmarinic Acid

Rosmarinic acid is a potent antioxidant found in rosemary and other common herbs such as basil, sage, marjoram, and thyme. Rosmarinic acid may be an effective alternative to BHA and BHT.3 RosavelTM rosmarinic acid is produced by bioconversion for high purity and can serve as an ideal preservative for food and cosmetic applications without the odor and flavor associated with rosemary extract.

Application Studies

Preservation of Omega-3 Oils
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are susceptible to oxidation, leading to altered organoleptic properties and the formation of lipid peroxides.

  • Design :
    • Antioxidant activity was assessed by the DPPH test and oxygen consumption was measured during auto-oxidation of omega-3 enriched oil. Antioxidants were solubilized in ethyl acetate or ethanol and added to reach a final concentration of 5x10-⁴ mol/L³.
  • Outcomes :
    • Comparing 22 polyphenols and 7 synthetic antioxidants, rosmarinic acid was shown to be a superior natural alternative to α-tocopherol and synthetic antioxidants (BHT, BHA, TBHQ, and PG).

Preservation of Raw Meat
Consumers often only base their decision to purchase fresh beef based on its color, with red meat being perceived as fresh.

  • Design :
    • Prevention of color loss, lipid peroxidation and microbial growth were assessed in raw ground beef prepared with type I antioxidants including rosmarinic acid (0.05%) and type II antioxidants (0.5%). Beef alone (control) or beef with antioxidant stored at 4°C were assessed at 0, 1, 4, 7 or 14 days.6
  • Outcomes :
    • Rosmarinic acid was effective at preserving red meat color and preventing lipid peroxidation and microbial growth even at 14 days compared to control meat.
