marigold pot absolute

Marigold pot absolute, also known as calendula officinalis absolute, is a concentrated aromatic extract derived from the flowers of the Calendula officinalis plant. It appears as a viscous, dark-colored substance and is recognized for its complex green, herbal, and floral scent profile with additional notes reminiscent of spices and tobacco. The compound is referenced in chemical databases such as PubChem where it is categorized as a natural botanical extract. It is produced through solvent extraction methods yielding an absolute valued for use in flavor and fragrance formulations. The absolute carries several synonyms including calendula officinalis l. absolute and oils, calendula officinalis. Its aroma and flavor characteristics make it suitable for enhancing products seeking fresh, green herbal notes.

Marigold pot absolute is extracted from the petals of the pot marigold plant, Calendula officinalis, which grows widely as a garden flower and medicinal herb. The absolute finds application predominantly as a flavor and fragrance ingredient, where its aldehydic and green floral notes provide complexity in perfumery and flavor enhancement. It is utilized in formulations associated with herbal, chrysanthemum, hyacinth, and tobacco odor characters, and it occasionally contributes a tomato-like flavor in food flavoring contexts. Within fragrance industry standards such as IFRA (Global), its use is managed to ensure product safety and quality, with recommended usage levels established to avoid adverse effects.

Marigold pot absolute exhibits partial solubility characteristics, being soluble in alcohol while showing minimal solubility in water at approximately 0.00905 mg/L at 25 °C. This solubility profile impacts its incorporation into aqueous and alcoholic formulations differently, favoring use in alcohol-based fragrance and flavor products. Its organoleptic properties include a green, herbal, and floral odor with spice and tobacco nuances, which contributes to its versatility in complex scent blends. These physicochemical traits influence stability, blending capacity, and sensory performance within various application matrices.
