european hazelnut absolute

European hazelnut absolute is a natural extract with a nutty aroma, used as a flavor and fragrance agent derived from Corylus avellana.

General Material Description

European hazelnut absolute, also known by synonyms such as Corylus avellana absolute and Hazel, Corylus avellana, ext., is a natural extract obtained from the hazelnut plant (Corylus avellana). This substance exhibits a characteristic nutty odor and flavor that closely resembles hazelnut itself. It appears as a viscous, aromatic material typically used in flavor and fragrance formulations. The compound's sensory qualities make it valuable for imparting warm, woody, and nutty notes. The controlled vocabulary link to its PubChem entry provides further chemical and safety details. The absolute is traditionally derived by solvent extraction from the nuts or their shells, preserving the aromatic constituents responsible for its signature aroma.

Occurrence, Applicability & Potential Uses

European hazelnut absolute naturally occurs in the nuts of the Corylus avellana plant. Its rich nutty profile makes it applicable in flavor and fragrance industries, where it serves to recreate or enhance hazelnut scents and tastes. The material contributes woody, cedar, and pine nuances in perfumery compositions, adding depth to various fragrance families. Its use is regulated under the IFRA (Global) standards, ensuring safe application limits in consumer products. This absolute is favored in formulations requiring natural nutty aromatic elements without reliance on synthetic substitutes.

Physico-Chemical Properties Summary

This absolute is soluble in alcohol, which facilitates its incorporation into alcoholic perfume bases and flavored spirits. It is insoluble in water, a characteristic that influences formulation strategies, especially in aqueous systems. The viscous nature and solubility profile require careful blending with compatible solvents to achieve homogeneous products. Its physicochemical traits favor its stability in typical fragrance and flavor matrices but may necessitate protective measures to maintain integrity during processing and storage.

FAQ

What is European hazelnut absolute and where does it come from?
European hazelnut absolute is a concentrated aromatic extract obtained from the nuts of the Corylus avellana plant. Commonly called Corylus avellana absolute or hazel extract, it captures the nutty scent and flavor of hazelnuts. It is produced through solvent extraction techniques that isolate the fragrant constituents from the nut material, preserving the characteristic nutty and woody aroma.
How is European hazelnut absolute used and in what applications?
This absolute is primarily used in flavor and fragrance formulations. Its nutty aroma complements products such as perfumes, colognes, and flavored food or beverage applications. In perfumery, it provides warm, cedar and pine-like woody undertones. Due to its solubility in alcohol and insolubility in water, it is incorporated into alcoholic bases rather than aqueous solutions. Regulations such as the IFRA Code of Practice guide its safe concentration levels in commercial products.
Are there any safety regulations or standards governing European hazelnut absolute?
European hazelnut absolute is subject to international standards including the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice, which specifies safe usage limits in fragrances. Toxicological data currently show no classified hazards under OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910). RIFM provides safety assessments categorizing it as suitable for flavor and fragrance uses within regulated boundaries. Users should consult relevant safety documentation and certification when incorporating this material into formulations.
