Description
Our organic CO2 select extract from rosehip for foods is obtained from the fruits of the Rosa canina species, widely recognised for its nutritional value and long standing tradition in folk gastronomy. Rosehip extract impresses with its natural and rich taste, which combines fruity sweetness, light acidity and a mild spicy nuance reminiscent of fresh wild fruits. It is precisely this balanced flavour profile that makes it exceptionally suitable for enriching food products with a fine and natural aroma. Its content is rich in biologically active substances, carotenoids, polyphenols, phytosterols and essential fatty acids, which retain their integrity thanks to the gentle extraction method. The taste of rosehip extract is natural, slightly oily and resistant to oxidation, making it convenient for inclusion in various types of foods without the need for additional stabilisers or flavourings. The extract is easy to use in a wide range of formulations, from cold to thermally processed foods, without changing the organoleptic qualities. Its organic origin and purity meet the highest requirements of the modern consumer seeking functional, clean and sustainable food ingredients.

Production
Organic rosehip extract is obtained through supercritical CO2 extraction, a modern technology that allows the extraction of lipophilic components from the plant material at low temperature and without the use of chemical solvents. The carbon dioxide used is completely safe and leaves no trace in the final product, which ensures high purity, stability and safety in use. Rosehip fruits are grown on certified organic plantations in Bulgaria, where they are hand harvested after full ripening. After careful cleaning and drying, they are processed in an extraction system that preserves all key bioactive components. The result is a liquid oily substance with a high content of carotene, vitamin E, phytosterols and the essential fatty acids omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9. After extraction, the product undergoes microfiltration and analysis according to food safety standards, including certification. The finished rosehip extract is offered in various packaging, from small glass bottles for boutique production to industrial batches suitable for larger scale foods. Full traceability and compliance with EU regulations and the Codex Alimentarius are tracked at every step.

Advantages
Organic CO2 extract from rosehip is valued in the food industry for its exceptional purity, high bioactivity and universal application. Its rich content of antioxidants and essential fatty acids makes it an excellent functional ingredient that not only adds flavour but also contributes to the nutritional value of the final product. It can be used to enrich functional foods, baby purees, healthy snacks, superfoods, oils for direct consumption, dressings and dairy products. It is also suitable for products with an extended shelf life, since its oxidation stability is exceptionally high. Free of synthetic additives, preservatives and colourants, rosehip extract meets the demand for clean label and bio certified foods. It does not change the texture or appearance of the product, allowing easy integration into existing recipes. Rosehip extract has a natural colour and aroma while providing lipids and phytochemicals with proven health benefits. Thanks to the supercritical technology, the concentration of bioactive molecules is significantly higher compared to traditional oils or infusions. This allows the use of lower doses with a stronger effect, which optimises costs in large scale production and meets the high requirements of sustainable and modern food brands.

Application
Supercritical CO2 extract from rosehip is applied in the food industry to enrich functional food products with natural antioxidants and fatty acids. In the production of cold pressed and specialised oils, it serves as a valuable addition for improving the nutritional profile of the final product. It is used in the development of functional spreads, fruit blends and concentrates, where it provides a natural fruity aroma and a pronounced flavour character. When enriching breakfast cereals, energy bars and similar products, it adds natural fat soluble nutrients without synthetic additives. It is also suitable for inclusion in dressings and marinades for delicatessen products, giving them a refined fruity floral nuance. It is applied in the production of specialised culinary oils for direct consumption or for finishing gourmet dishes, where small quantities provide a characteristic aroma and additional nourishment. Its organic origin and natural extraction method make it a preferred raw material for manufacturers working to the standards of organic and clean food.

Storage

Store organic CO2 select extract from rosehip in a dark, cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the temperature up to +25 °C to prevent oxidation and changes in quality. After opening, limit the air in the packaging and pour the remainder into a smaller, clean and dry bottle. Use only aluminium or glass bottles for food products, preferably of dark glass, which protect the extract for food from light. Close tightly after each use so that air and moisture do not enter. Following these conditions preserves the quality and safety of the product for longer.

Attention!

Please use the extract for foods according to the instructions described and follow the safety recommendations. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, in case of contact rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use of rosehip extract for foods if an allergy such as redness or irritation appears. We recommend performing an allergy test before use.
