Applications for Antioxidants
Mayonnaise. Fitting in well with the other natural ingredients pictured above, Ecom's rosemary antioxidant NR3404 is able to extend shelf life for mayonnaise.
Seasoning blends and processed meats. Ecom's rosemary NR3401 is often used in applications that are especially price sensitive, and allow a hint of rosemary flavor.
Skin creams. Ecom's rosemary antioxidant NR3408 is used to enhance shelf life for the oils in skin creams. Since the added tocopherols act synergistically, this product is an effective choice.
Snack colors. Do your snacks need to keep their vibrant colors longer? Ecom can suggest a range of natural colors fortified with antioxidant rosemary with proven results.
Antioxidants
Ecom offers rosemary based antioxidants suitable for slowing the oxidation of fats. Wherever fatty foods are used, Ecom's antioxidant products can be used to preserve taste, improve appearance and extend shelf life.
How does antioxidant rosemary work?
Over time the fats in food are degraded by oxygen. Oleoresin rosemary contains a number of compounds that slows the oxidation of fats.
By inserting concentrated rosemary with these inhibitors into foods before fats start degrading, the fats maintain their integrity longer.
At Ecom we have considerable expertise in working with manufacturers to develop antioxidant products for specific manufacturing environments.
