Frequently Asked Questions
What is rosemary extract used for?
Rosemary extract (CAS 84604-14-8), a botanical extract of Rosmarinus officinalis, is used industrially as a natural antioxidant to retard oxidative rancidity in fats, oils, and finished products, and as a flavoring and fragrance component. In cosmetics it stabilizes oil phases against oxidation.
How does rosemary extract work as an antioxidant in food and oil systems?
It contributes phenolic diterpene constituents (such as carnosic acid and carnosol) that retard lipid oxidation, slowing the development of rancidity in fats and oils. It is dosed as a processing antioxidant; effective levels depend on the substrate and are set by the formulator.
What forms of rosemary extract are available for bulk use?
Rosemary extract is supplied in multiple forms tailored to application, including oil-soluble and water-dispersible antioxidant grades and deodorized/decolorized variants for food use. Confirm the carrier, active level, and solubility on the CoA against your formulation needs.
Is rosemary extract oil-soluble or water-soluble?
Both types exist: the antioxidant actives are lipophilic, so standard grades are oil-soluble for use in fats and oils, while water-dispersible grades are formulated for aqueous systems. Specify your target phase when requesting a quote so the correct grade is supplied.
How is bulk rosemary extract quoted and documented?
Pricing depends on the active concentration, form, and order volume, so it is quoted per lot rather than at list price. Submit an RFQ with your required grade, solubility, and quantity; each lot ships with a CoA and SDS.
