Blue California’s 98% Pure Rosavel® Without Color and Odor
Food and beverage manufacturers now have access to a scalable natural preservative for complimenting healthy clean label ingredients
To help brands keep food and drink fresh in a natural and sustainable way, Blue California announced jointly with biotech innovator Conagen, the commercialization of Rosavel®, a next generation natural preservation solution with 98% high-purity rosmarinic acid made by bioconversion without the color or flavor associated with rosemary.
Rosmarinic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound in the rosemary plant, which possesses natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, making it ideal as a natural alternative to synthetic preservatives. Yet, these crude extracts may accompany an intense rosemary flavor and color when it is used as a natural preservative.
