Rosemary is often used widely as a common household spice, and also as a fragrant aromatic flavoring agent in several commercially available products, such as vegetables, prepared meats, baked goods, etc. In fact, several people opine that rosemary can be far more useful as a flavoring agent than as a medicine, and this may be quite true because of the truth that rosemary is used in soaps, lotions, facial and body creams, toilet waters, and perfumes as the primary and most important fragrance component. Small amounts of the fragrance are added to the products such as frozen desserts, candy, alcoholic beverages, puddings and various other similar goods. Extracts containing labiatic and carnosic acids have antioxidant or food preservative properties similar to those of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), but it must always be remembered that large quantities of rosemary oil cannot be taken internally. The reason is that this may cause stomach irritation and disorders and can also irritate the kidneys and intestines.
