Product Specifications

Why Choose Our 98% Carnosic Acid Powder?

Improved Antioxidant Performance

Our product provides superior free radical scavenging capacity using a novel "Antioxidant Cascade" method. When it neutralizes a free radical it oxidizes to Carnosol which has strong antioxidant action. This practically doubles the active life of your product.

You will appreciate its greater lipophilic properties which provide superior effectiveness in oil based systems where water soluble antioxidants fail. Our natural extract enables you to produce clean-label products, addressing growing consumer demands, unlike synthetic options such as BHA, BHT, and TBHQ.

Superior Thermal Stability

High temperature processing? Don't worry. The powder is physiologically active even at temperatures as high as 190-200°C. This heat resistance is suitable for hot-fill production, baking procedures and frying applications.

Induction times are greatly prolonged in standard Rancimat tests. Your omega-3 oils, fried snacks and baked foods stay fresh longer without sacrificing taste or quality.

Multi-Function Health Benefits

In addition to antioxidant protection, our substance provides a variety of biological functions. It supports anti-inflammatory action by reducing inflammatory stress to tissue. Its neuroprotective potential is good for brain health formulations, protecting nerve cells.

Its cosmetic uses are based on its skin anti-aging characteristics and help minimize the oxidative damage caused by UV radiation. You're also getting preservation benefits for your formulations from the antibacterial properties seen against some microbes in lab trials.

Industrial Applications & Use Cases

Dietary Supplements & Nutraceutical

You may create premium antioxidant supplements that aim to reduce oxidative stress. The standardized 98% purity is good for brain health and cognitive support products. Our Carnosic Acid Powder stabilises fish oil and algal oil supplements that are high in omega-3.

This stops the quick peroxidation of lipids in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and greatly extends the shelf life. Your consumers receive the full nutritional benefits and avoid the unpleasant "fishy" aftertaste.

Functional Foods and Beverages

Add our powder to frying media to increase fry-life in industrial frying operations. It slows polymer synthesis and oxidative breakdown in high heat cycles. Snack foods like chips and nuts stay crisp and flavorful longer.

Natural color fixative and freshness retainer for cured meat and poultry items. It reduces oxidation of myoglobin and lipids in sausages and deli meats. You can confidently use "Natural Flavoring" or "Rosemary Extract" on your label in place of artificial preservatives.

Beauty & Personal Care

Our substance is used in anti-aging skincare formulations in serums, creams and SPF-support products. It's good for sun care lines, as it fights UV-induced oxidative damage. The lipophilic character allows for excellent penetration in oil-based cosmetic matrices.

Its antibacterial capabilities can be exploited in natural preserving systems. You get clean label ingredients that consumers want and you keep products fresh longer.

Quality Assurance & Technical Parameters

End-to-End Testing & Conformance

All of our batches are rigorously tested in our own certified labs and with third party labs such as Eurofins, SGS and Alkemist Labs. We test for active ingredient content, heavy metals, microbial contamination, pesticide residues and solvent residues.

Our quality control system ensures full traceability from the purchase of raw materials to the final product. Batch-specific documentation enables compliance with regulatory standards in China, the European Union and the United States.

Critical Quality Attributes

We monitor Carnosol ratios tightly for initial freshness and optimum antioxidant efficacy. Residual solvent levels conform to EU Directive 2009/32/EC for extraction solvents. Low chlorophyll concentration means no undesirable color transfer to your final formulations.

Biological activity is verified using optical rotation parameters. Low moisture content keeps the powder stable during storage and shipment. Optimized standard mesh size supports fast dispersion in lipid matrices.

Storage & Handling Recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. It is stable for 24 months in sealed packaging when stored properly. It has thermal stability during processing. Avoid moisture for longer periods for maximum shelf life.

Use nitrogen flushing or inert atmosphere when possible for bulk storage. After each usage be careful to properly close containers to avoid oxidation. Production environments must adhere to standard food-grade handling norms.

FAQ

Q: What makes 98% purity product superior to lower concentrations?

A: Higher purity means greater antioxidant potency per gram, allowing lower usage rates in your formulations. The 98% grade is ideal for pharmaceutical and high-end nutraceutical applications requiring maximum efficacy and minimal excipients. You achieve better cost-efficiency despite higher initial investment.

Q: Is the product water-soluble or oil-soluble?

A: It is strictly lipophilic (oil-soluble) and practically insoluble in water. This differs from Rosmarinic Acid, which is water-soluble. For aqueous systems, you'll need specialized emulsification techniques or consider water-soluble rosemary extracts instead.

Q: Can I use this ingredient to replace synthetic antioxidants like BHT or BHA?

A: Absolutely. Our product serves as a natural, clean-label alternative with comparable or superior antioxidant performance. Many customers successfully reformulate existing products to meet consumer demand for natural ingredients while maintaining or improving shelf life.

Q: What is the recommended usage rate in formulations?

A: Typical usage ranges from 0.01% to 0.5% depending on application and fat content. Oil-based supplements commonly use 0.02-0.1%, while industrial frying oils may require 0.05-0.2%. Our technical team provides specific recommendations based on your matrix and stability targets.

Q: How quickly can you provide samples and technical documentation?

A: We complete sample development within 7 working days and provide technical documents within 12 hours. Our rapid response time helps you accelerate product development cycles and meet tight market launch deadlines.

Q: Do you offer customization services for this ingredient?

A: Yes. We provide customized concentrations, particle size optimization, and can develop compound formulations combining Carnosic acid with synergistic antioxidants like tocopherols. Our R&D team works under strict confidentiality to develop proprietary blends meeting your exact specifications.
