AquaRox 10 is suitable for clear, hot-filled beverages, as it maintains its Orac activity even at high processing temperatures. Traditional rosemary extracts that are available on the market are not suitable for beverage applications due to the undesirable taste, flavour and colour they add to the final product. AquaRox 10 has a bland taste and natural colour, making it ideal for beverage applications.
“AquaRox 10 is by far a breakthrough antioxidant ingredient for a wide range of beverage applications, including clear and hot-filled beverages,” said Ohad Cohen, CEO of Vitiva. “This high-potent Orac ingredient can help beverage manufacturers in creating a tasty and healthy drink without any technical obstacles.”
AquaRox 10 is standardised to 10% rosmarinic acid, doesn’t affect organoleptic characteristics of the beverage, is heat-stable and can easily replace green tea in beverage applications. Among various plant phenolics, rosmarinic acid is an important caffeoyl ester with proven medicinal properties and well-characterised physiological functions. Rosmarinic acid is found in substantial quantities in the Labiatae family, and its medicinal uses can be found in several cultures.
