Herbalox® Rosemary Extract Quick Soluble

A Quick Soluble, Natural Antioxidant for Your Cold Brines

Herbalox® Rosemary Extract Type QS (Quick Solubility) is a specially formulated natural antioxidant with excellent miscibility in cold brines for a clear, injectable solution to oxidation. Super-chilled water temperatures and competition among dry ingredients for available water often prevent complete solubility of functional ingredients. Incomplete solubility can cause processing difficulties, such as clogged injection needles or filters.

Using Herbalox® Rosemary Extract QS in your Cold Brine

Herbalox® Rosemary Extract QS is formulated for cold brine miscibility to optimize your finished product, which means it is 100 percent functional as a natural antioxidant. With standard agitation, Type QS enters into solution easily and your brine remains transparent after its addition. No ringing out and no clinging to your tanks. Transfer loss is minimized and equipment malfunctions, such as clogged injection needles or filters, are avoided. The result is a flavorful product with a clean-cut face when sliced.

Improved Storage Stability in Poultry Products

Herbalox® Rosemary Extract Type QS was added to a typical brine solution of precooked chicken thighs and fresh chicken breasts. A control sample and the Herbalox® Rosemary Extract dosed sample were then held in frozen storage. Thiabarbituric Acid (TBA) quality deterioration was measured over several months of frozen storage.

Results:

Improved storage stability during frozen storage
Products made with Type QS were the least oxidized (lowest TBA values), while those without Type QS were the most oxidized (highest TBA values)

Benefits

Improved flavor quality in finished product
No clogged filters or injection needles
No discoloration in muscle seams
Easily dispersed and compatible with cold brines
Consumer-friendly “natural flavoring” label
