Syensqo is launching Riza, a range of antioxidants and flavors said to be 100% derived from rosemary. The launch of this range follows Syensqo’s majority share acquisition of Moroccan rosemary extraction company Azerys, which took place in July 2024.
The range is designed to be used in diverse applications including meat, bakery, instant meals, oil and fat-based food products, as well as pet foods or feed ingredients (swine, poultry, fish) and beverages. Solutions covering pure rosemary and mixed blends are available as a powder or liquid and contain different carnosic acid contents.
“The Riza range aims to help food manufacturers eliminate artificial preservatives by providing them with a natural alternative,” says Christophe Cartier, Syensqo’s Aroma market director. “With the natural benefits of rosemary extract antioxidants, we can create tailor-made solutions for our customers' needs.”
“Azerys’ capabilities and extraction knowledge, combined with Syensqo’s innovation power, provides our customers with the expertise required to meet their natural expectations”, says Moulay-Rachid Cherkaoui, CEO of Azerys.
