Riza: Answering consumer needs for natural antioxidants for food
Enhancing shelf life and preserving food product performance
The Riza natural antioxidants and flavors range enables food manufacturers to protect food from oxidation and rancidity due to the carnosic acid content in wild rosemary leaves.
As a food oxidation solution, Riza helps preserve a product’s taste, color and flavor over time. For example, the range safeguards the natural red color of meat, and as a natural shelf life extender helps avoid food waste.
In addition, Riza is available in grades free of odors or perceptible taste, supporting sensitive applications like pet food or feed where these requirements are crucial.
Riza is a 100% non-GMO range of natural antioxidants and flavors

A change in consumer behaviour toward food preservatives
Rising consumer demand for Natural food preservatives
Consumer attitudes toward synthetic food preservatives and additives have become increasingly cautious. These are influenced by growing awareness of health and wellness, environmental concerns, preferences for clean label products, and for food that contains natural plant-based preservatives.
Many consumers associate additives with potential health risks, including allergies, digestive issues, and possibly long-term diseases. Such concerns are contributing to rosemary extract’s growing status as the leading industry choice of natural antioxidant for food.
Manufacturers are now reformulating their products
In response to changing consumer behavior, many food manufacturers are reformulating their products. This might include reducing or eliminating artificial preservatives, highlighting the use of natural preservation methods, or improving the transparency and traceability of their ingredients. The Riza 100% non-GMO range of natural antioxidants and flavors is crafted as an alternative to chemical food additives, and offers manufacturers a reliable solution to the challenges they face.
