Description
Our rosehip natural CO2 subcritical extract for foods is a high-quality naturally derived ingredient obtained from the fruits of Rosa Canina – one of the most valued plants in both traditional and modern nutrition science. Its international name, Rosehip natural CO2 subcritical extract, reflects the extraction method and guarantees a complete chemical profile without loss of active components. The origin of the rosehip is Bulgaria – a region known for its ecologically clean areas and longstanding traditions in harvesting wild herbs and fruits. Belonging to the Rosaceae family, rosehip fruit is rich in natural antioxidants, vitamin C, β-carotene, polyphenols, fatty acids, and phytonutrients. The extract has a liquid consistency, a dark red to deep orange color, and its aromatic profile is fruity-floral with a subtle spicy note and medium to intoxicating intensity. The used part of the plant is the fruit, known for its beneficial effects on the immune system, metabolism, and skin. The product is entirely naturally derived, free from preservatives and colorants, and certified according to international standards, ensuring its purity, safety, and traceability. Thanks to its rich nutritional and aromatic profile, this rosehip extract is especially suitable for use in foods and supplements, including cold and hot drinks, functional bars, natural dressings, oils for direct consumption, mix pastes, and fruit blends. It provides not only a fine and original taste but also active biological value, turning every application into a source of health support for the body.

Production
The production of rosehip natural CO2 subcritical extract for foods takes place in Bulgaria – a country recognized for its excellence in cultivating and processing medicinal and edible plants. The fruits of Rosa Canina are gathered from controlled naturally growing areas, free from chemical treatments and maintained under sustainable agricultural practices. After harvesting and manual selection, the rosehips are dried at low temperatures to preserve all thermolabile components, including vitamins and essential compounds. The extraction method is subcritical CO2 – an exceptionally gentle technology where carbon dioxide is used at low temperature and pressure to extract only the most valuable fractions of the plant. This method uses no solvents and leaves no residues, making it particularly suitable for food applications. The finished rosehip extract is precisely filtered and undergoes laboratory analysis for microbiological purity and stability. Small batches from 0.010 to 0.500 kg are stored in dark glass bottles that protect the product from light, oxidation, and temperature fluctuations, while larger quantities – from 1 to 180 kg – are packed in specialized aluminum containers suitable for food contact. Packaging complies with all food safety standards, including HACCP and ISO, with each batch traceable through complete documentation. The entire production process adheres to international good manufacturing practices (GMP), ensuring the extract is safe, stable, and ready for direct or industrial use in foods and nutritional formulations.

Advantages
Our rosehip natural CO2 subcritical extract for foods offers numerous benefits that make it an extremely valuable component in the production of functional and high-quality food products. The product is naturally derived, making it ideal for all formulations labeled as “clean food” and “additive-free.” The subcritical extraction method preserves all bioactive components of rosehip in their natural form – including vitamin C, β-carotene, polyphenols, flavonoids, and unsaturated fatty acids – which act synergistically to provide comprehensive antioxidant protection. This makes the product suitable for functional foods with antioxidant, immune-supporting, energizing, or restorative properties. The aroma and color of the rosehip extract add not only taste but also aesthetic value to products it is included in – from drinks and candies to superfoods and paste-based formulas. Moreover, since it contains no solvent residues, preservatives, or colorants, it is suitable for direct consumption and for sensitive consumer groups – including children, the elderly, and individuals with food allergies. Rosehip extract is an excellent support for digestive and metabolic functions while stimulating the body's natural defense mechanisms. Easy to incorporate into formulations, it is compatible with both water- and oil-based systems. Certified according to international standards and fully compliant with food regulations, the product provides stability, safety, and added value for everyone creating foods with a focus on health and natural origin.

Storage

Always tightly close the bottle after each use to prevent the entry of air and moisture, which can lead to spoilage of the product. After using part of the rosehip extract for food products, it is advisable to transfer it to a smaller container to minimize the amount of air remaining inside, as oxygen may cause changes in quality and aroma. It is recommended to use aluminum or glass bottles (dark glass) to protect the product from light. By following these recommendations, you will preserve the product for a longer period with all of its aromatic and beneficial properties.
