The Advantages of Plant Extracts

Date

 

 

Synonymous with naturalness and good health, plant extracts are found in the most diverse products and appeal to people looking for a healthier life.

 

Plant extracts are natural ingredients produced from a plant species. The type of plant extract can be liquid or solid and can be food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical grade, when classified by application.

 

Bioactive compounds present in different plant species can be considered as interesting alternatives to synthetic food additives, especially with regard to antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The increasing consumer preference for natural ingredients has enlarged their application in finished products. They are used as functional foods as well as nutraceuticals and supplements. 

 

In the major consumer markets of the world, the widest possible range of products with a plant-based touch is often found, in various options such as soft drinks formulated with spices, fruit juices, etc, we can find the presence of plant extracts everywhere.

Today, natural extracts are frequently used as antioxidants by the food industry. Due to the progressive demand for the use of natural ingredients, extracts are increasingly considered as an excellent alternative to replace synthetic antioxidants, once they have the ability to improve the oxidative stability of food products and even to increase their shelf life.
