ROSEMARY SFE
Rosemary
Rosemary has a fresh, woody, aromatic odor, very balsamic and herbal.
More resinous and less camphoraceous than the Essential oil.
The SFE process preserves all the facets and the natural profile identity to guarantee a high purity extract.
Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) is a technology in which carbon dioxide, put beyond its critical point (73 bars and 30°C), becomes a supercritical fluid with special properties.
The extraction carried out at a low temperature preserves the natural profile identity of the raw material.
Extracted part: stems and leaves.
This ingredient is both convenient for perfumery and flavor applications.
Rosemary is native to dry, rocky areas of the Mediterranean, especially along the coast. The name Rosmarinus derives from the Latin words ros and marinus which together translate to “dew of the sea.” Rosemary has been used since ancient times, dating back to the early Greek and Roman era. The leaves have a pungent, slightly bitter taste and, dried or fresh, and are generally used to season foods apart from their application in the F&F industry.
Spain
dsm-firmenich sources its Rosemary from Spain, where the aromatic plant grows wild in many parts of the country.
dsm-firmenich purchases Rosemary from companies that contract with local authorities to collect the plant by hand from the wild in a responsible manner throughout the year, so as to minimize the environmental impact of the harvest.
