A shelf-extender that has no chemical, genetically modified or synthetic inputs or resources is a definition of an organic preservative. Rosemary serves as an example. It works as an organic preservative because carnosic and rosmarinic acids inhibit free-radical chain reactions that facilitate oxidation of fats and oils and therefore rancidity.
