A world of botanicals for lasting freshness

In addition to rosemary, Givaudan’s botanical scientists have explored the food preservation powers of multiple botanicals, including acerola, pomegranate and green tea, for example. Each ingredient is standardised in active compounds to provide optimal protection from oxidation depending on the application.

Pouring dressing

Our experts have also developed several blends for synergistic effects. For example, our XtraBlend® RN, derived from spinach and rosemary, offers a high-performance natural alternative to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for mayonnaise, salad dressings and other lipid emulsions.

Finally, there’s more to food preservation than just maintaining taste and colour. The food and beverage industry is currently faced with growing food safety concerns along with consumer demand for more transparency and clean label.

Our botanical expertise enables us to also offer ingredients that address these food safety concerns. Our solutions for meat and poultry products are specifically developed to inhibit bacterial growth and food spoilage, naturally.
