----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Natural antioxidant VS Traditional antioxidant: substitution and new choice.:

1,Traditional Antioxidant,what is TBHQ? Amerol TBHQ is an antioxidant which offers excellent solubility in fats and o ils. Used alone or in combination with other Amerol antioxidants it adds stabilit y to fats, oils, cereals and packaging materials. TBHQ:tert-Butylhydroquinone; Mono-tert-butylhydroquinone Chemical:C10H14O2 Formula wt 166.22 INS: 319 CAS: [1948-33-0] Description:A white, crystalline solid having a characteristic odor. It is so luble in alcohol and in ether, but is practically insoluble in water. Functional Use in Foods: Antioxidant. 2,why substitution? Not safe? Both BHA and BHT have undergone the additive application and review process r equired by the US Food and Drug Administration. However, the same chemical properties which make BHA and BHT excellent preser vatives may also be implicated in health effects. The oxidative characteristics and/or metabolites of BHA and BHT may contribut e to carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity; however the same reactions may combat oxi dative stress. There is evidence that certain persons may have difficulty metabolizing BHA a nd BHT, resulting in health and behavior changes. BHA and BHT may have antiviral and antimicrobial activities. Research is unde rway concerning the use of BHT in the treatment of herpes simplex and AIDS. 3,And suggestive idea from green opinion: Substitution of oil-antioxidant TBHQ(C10H14O2)---natural rosemary antioxidant [ROSEMARY EXTRACT(ANTIOXIDANTS)] Description:ROSEMARY EXTRACT - (ANTIOXIDANTS) Apperance: Light Brown to Brown standard fine powder extracts, Oil/Water solu ble.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Therapeutics and Pharmacology of Rosemary.: Additional Comments: Rosemary was reputedly first grown in England by Philip pa of Hainault, wife of Edward III, in the 14th century. Gerard said of the herb, 'it comforteth the harte and maketh it merie'. Grown in gardens since ancient ti mes, it was considered to have powers of protection against evil spirits and was the emblem of fidelity for lovers. It is said that rosemary grows well in the kit chen gardens of households where the woman reigns supreme. It is an ingredient of many shampoos and hair preparations, and an infusion of the herb with borax is u sed as a rinse for treating dandruff. The leaves are one of the ingredients of ea u de cologne. Rosmarinus is specifically indicated in depressive states accompanied by gen eral debility and indications of cardiovascular weakness and is of value as a ton ic for elderly people with weak circulation, particularly after a debilitating il lness such as influenza and pneumonia. The flavonoid diosmin improves the circula tion and strengthens fragile blood vessels. Diosmin is reported to be more effect ive in decreasing capillary fragility than rutin. The herb is of benefit in palpi tations and other signs of nervous tension which affect the circulation. The camp hor has a general tonic effect on the circulation and nervous system, especially the vascular nerves, making it an excellent drug for all states of chronic circul atory weakness including hypotension. Rosmarinus is beneficial in dyspeptic conditions with flatulence and signs o f liver inadequacy. It is of particular value in atonic conditions of the stomach where there is also generally poor circulation. The herb reduces flatulence and is stimulating to the digestion, liver and gallbladder, increasing the flow of bi le; as rosmaricine breaks down in the body it stimulates the smooth muscle of the digestive tract and gallbladder. An infusion makes a good mouthwash for halitosi s. Externally, Rosmarinus is used to ease muscular pain, sciatica and neuralgia , and the oil is a component of liniments used for rheumatism. A salve made from the oil can be applied to sores, eczema, bruises and wounds. The anti-inflammator y action of the herb is thought to be due to rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid and ap igenin. It is an excellent remedy for headache, taken either as an infusion or by ap plying the oil to the temples. Rosemarinus can also be applied locally as a wash for dandruff and scurf, or added to a bath for a stimulating effect. It has been used since ancient times to improve and strengthen the memory. The oil also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, and antimicr obial activity has been documented towards moulds and Gram-positive and Gram-nega tive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, Vibrio chole rae and Escherichia coli. Carnosol and ursolic acid inhibit a range of food spoil age bacteria

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Rosemary Extracts as functional additives in Cosmetics.: Rosemary, with its forest-fresh scent and lovely flowers is quintessential i n any herb garden. The ancient Latin name rosmarinus, meaning ¡°sea-dew,¡± comes from its habit of growing close to the sea and the dewlike appearance of its pale blue flowers at a distance. Rosemary is a shrub that originated in the Mediterranean region and is now w idely cultivated throughout the temperate areas. It is richly steeped in myth, ma gic and folk medicine. Connected with the Christian faith is the story that rosem ary will grow for 33 years, the length of Christ¡¯s life and then die. With a reputation for strengthening the memory, it became the emblem of fide lity during the Elizabethan times. The wedding couple wore or carried a sprig as a sign of love and faithfulness. Rosemary, known for its antiseptic properties, was burned in sick chambers t o purify and freshen the air. Branches were strewn in courts of law as a protecti on against jail fever (typhus). During the great plague, rosemary leaves were car ried in neck pouches to be sniffed when traveling through questionable areas. Rosemary is used today in many herbal shampoos and has a long standing reput ation as a hair tonic. An antiseptic solution may be added to the bath to promote healthy skin. Boil a handful in 16 fl.oz. of water for 10 minutes. The oil may be used externally as an effective natural insect repellent. It also makes an excellent headache remedy if applied directly to the head. Like man y essential oils, rosemary has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, and it helps poor circulation if rubbed into the affected joint areas. Rosemary ¡°remembers,¡± enhancing the ability to recall long-forgotten facts and details. It¡¯s also mood-elevating and stimulating so keep a plant on a wind owsill. Gently bruise several rosemary needles to release the resinous scent of c amphor. This inspiring perfume excites a flurry of creative brain activity. And w hen you are on the brink of a cold, feeling stressed-out or sluggish, spray the r oom with a rosemary mist. This healing resin disinfects the air and is an antidot e for stress and depression. Rosemary can, with great care be grown from seed. However, the most reliable method of propagation is from cuttings of softwood ( new growth) in the spring. Cut lengths of approximately 6 inches and place in potting soil. Keep water to a minimum. In the summer months, rosemary also lends itself well to layering, espec ially if the branches are already hanging down. Rosemary requires a well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny spot. It is fros t hardy but in certain cold areas prefers to grow against a south or south-west w all. If the plant is young, it is worth a little extra protection. ¡°Arp¡± is a n ew cultivar that can withstand more frost than other varieties. As rosemary is evergreen, you can pick fresh leaves all year round. If you d esire a large quantity, it is best to pick in the summer and dry or use in oils o r vinegars to preserve. Rosemary does well in pots, and is the preferred way to g row in colder areas. Most upright varieties look very attractive and benefit from the extra protection offered by a container. Make sure the potting soil is very well drained. Do not overwater, and feed only after flowering.
