mimosa absolute morocco

Mimosa absolute Morocco is an aromatic botanical extract derived from the flowers of Acacia dealbata var. dealbata. This absolute presents as a viscous substance known for its prominent floral odor with natural green, grassy, and sweet hay undertones. Sensory profiles highlight waxy, fresh herbal, woody, and fruity notes as well. Often identified by synonyms such as acacia dealbata absolute or mimosa oil, this material contributes a characteristic floral aroma in perfumery and flavor applications. For detailed chemical information, see the PubChem entry. This absolute is typically obtained by solvent extraction of mimosa blossoms native to regions including Morocco, where it is cultivated for its aromatic properties.

Mimosa absolute Morocco is extracted from the flowering parts of the Acacia decurrens species, commonly known as acacia dealbata. This botanical source is valued for its richly floral and green aroma. The material is applied primarily as a flavor and fragrance ingredient, suitable for use in perfumes, personal care products, and flavoring formulations. Its floral and herbal scent profile finds frequent application in herbal blends, honey flavors, and fruit compositions such as cherry and pip fruits. The absolute’s inclusion is governed by standards such as IFRA (Global), which recommends maximum usage levels to ensure safe application in consumer products.

Mimosa absolute Morocco is a viscous aromatic extract with solubility in alcohol and propylene glycol but insoluble in water, which influences its formulation in flavor and fragrance systems. The absolute exhibits moderate substantivity with a floral scent lasting approximately 400 hours at full concentration. Its flash point is about 93°C (200°F), indicating relatively low volatility under standard conditions. It is stable for at least 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from heat and light, preserving its olfactory characteristics. These properties support its use as a fixative and aroma enhancer in various applications.
