Frutarom organic rosemary extract

Frutarom Food Protection Business Unit’s organic rosemary extract is designed to prevent oxidation and increase shelf life of food products. The company has collaborated with Hishtil Nurseries in Israel and organic farmers in Spain.

The company grows organic rosemary and incorporates its active ingredients, carnosic and rosmarinic acids into food formulation to naturally increase shelf life of foods and beverages. Carnosic and rosmarinic acids can be concentrated naturally using technology.

Organic certifications apply to the entire supply chain for these rosemary extracts, from the nursery plants, to the farmers and processors, and through the organic-certified Frutarom subsidiaries of Vitiva and Nutrafur.

Hishtil Nurseries propagates more than 20 rosemary varieties, and supplies organic seedlings to the company. From there, farmers on plantations in the south of Spain grow the seedlings into “mother” plants according to full organic guidelines and on organic-certified land. The farmers’ harvesting and processing facilities also are certified organic.

The company uses a portfolio of multiple rosemary extracts and can create tailor-made solutions to address customer needs. The spectrum of natural solutions available includes more than 140 ingredients, such as VivOX, INOLENS, SyneROX, Nutrox and AquaROX, that target different food products.
