Rosemary is not one interchangeable product. A comparable record identifies the accepted species Salvia rosmarinus and any trade synonym; separates fresh sprigs and leaves, dried cut leaf, ground powder, steam-distilled essential oil and solvent or carbon-dioxide extract; and preserves cultivar, origin, harvest, drying or extraction route, sieve or particle profile, volatile-oil and marker results, residues, contaminants, microbiology, intended use, package, lot, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and information vintage. ISO 11164:1995 addresses dried rosemary leaves in cut form, ISO 1342:2012 addresses rosemary essential oil, and EU E 392 specifications address defined rosemary-extract preparations. Those scopes must not be merged.
Kew accepts Salvia rosmarinus Spenn. and records Rosmarinus officinalis L. as a homotypic synonym. ISO lists ISO 11164:1995 as the current specification for dried cut rosemary leaf and ISO 1342:2012 as the current third edition for rosemary essential oil. EU E 392 specifications define rosemary-leaf extracts separately: carnosic acid plus carnosol comprise at least 90 percent of total phenolic diterpenes; acetone-extracted material contains at least 10 percent reference antioxidative compounds; and supercritical-carbon-dioxide extract contains at least 13 percent. These are bounded identity and additive specifications, not proof of species, composition, safety, conformity, availability or current price for an offered lot.
Kew's Plants of the World Online accepts Salvia rosmarinus Spenn. and lists Rosmarinus officinalis L. as a homotypic synonym. Commercial and standards documents still commonly use the older name. Atlas keeps the accepted name, declared synonym, cultivar where material, plant part, origin, harvest and traceability together so a nomenclature change does not create two commodities or conceal a different species.
Fresh sprigs and leaves, dried whole or cut leaf and ground powder have different moisture, particle, defect, foreign-matter, aroma, storage and sampling evidence. ISO 11164:1995 covers dried rosemary leaves in cut form, not every fresh, ground, extracted or distilled product. Atlas records form, cut or sieve description, drying route, treatment, package and lot rather than transferring a grade or observation between forms.
ISO 1342:2012 specifies characteristics for rosemary essential oil and ISO confirms it as the current third edition. Essential oil is a volatile distillate; dried culinary leaf is plant material. A certificate should name species, plant part, distillation route, physical and chromatographic methods, laboratory, sample and lot. Atlas does not infer oil conformity from a leaf certificate or leaf quality from an oil chromatogram.
EU E 392 specifications address rosemary-leaf antioxidant extracts made through defined solvent or supercritical-carbon-dioxide routes. They distinguish extraction categories and set composition, drying, contaminant and residual-solvent controls. E 392 status does not make the material dried herb or essential oil, and a regulatory specification is not a lot result. Atlas retains extraction route, carrier, standardization basis, intended use and destination rule with the lot.
Carnosic acid, carnosol and volatile compounds answer different identity and composition questions. EU E 392 uses carnosic acid plus carnosol for defined extract categories and a GC-MSD basis for key volatiles; those values cannot be generalized to culinary leaf or essential oil. Atlas preserves sample preparation, analytical method, reference material, detection or quantitation limits, laboratory, uncertainty, date and lot.
Pesticide residues, heavy metals, mycotoxins, microbiology, allergens and treatment disclosures follow the destination, intended use and product form. A compliant result under one rule or for one extract category does not certify another market, fresh herb, dried leaf, oil or future lot. Atlas records the applicable rule and version, analyte, limit, method, sample, result and laboratory without inventing universal thresholds.
Harvest maturity and timing, drying temperature and duration, light, oxygen, moisture, package barrier, container and seal can change rosemary leaf and oil. A comparable record keeps production and packing dates, process, package size and material, storage, transport condition, retained sample, repacking or blending history, chain of custody and re-test date. Historical or upstream evidence is not current lot evidence after uncontrolled handling.
Taxonomy, an ISO reference or E 392 composition criteria do not establish current availability, conformity, transaction value or delivered cost. A physical estimate still needs permitted current observations for the exact product form, species, origin, process, quality and compliance evidence, package and lot, quantity, currency, Incoterm, load and destination points, delivery window, freight, duties and information vintage. Atlas withholds a physical estimate when those observations or usage rights are missing.
No. Kew accepts Salvia rosmarinus and records Rosmarinus officinalis as a homotypic synonym. Atlas preserves both names while keeping one species record.
No. Its published scope is dried rosemary leaves in cut form. Fresh material, ground powder, essential oil and extracts need their own product and evidence records.
No. Essential oil is a volatile distillate addressed by ISO 1342. E 392 covers defined antioxidant extracts with separate extraction and composition specifications.
No. It provides a reference specification. Conformity requires representative sampling, named methods, actual lot results, destination eligibility and traceable documentation.
Accepted species and synonym, cultivar, plant part, fresh, dried, cut, ground, essential-oil or extract form, drying or extraction route, cut or sieve profile, volatile-oil or marker methods and results, residues, contaminants, microbiology, intended use and destination, package, lot and custody, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and evidence date.
