jasmin absolute china (from concrete)

Jasmin absolute china is a natural aromatic extract derived from Jasminum grandiflorum flowers, specifically obtained via concrete extraction methods. This waxy, viscous material exhibits a characteristic medium-strength floral jasmine odor and flavor, with sensory notes prized in the fragrance and flavor industries. Known synonyms include jasmine absolute, jasmine oil, and jasminum officinale fo. grandiflorum absolute china. Its chemical composition classifies it within complex essential oil absolutes. Detailed chemical and safety information is available through the PubChem database. The raw material is naturally sourced from jasmine flowers predominantly grown in China, and the extraction requires solvent-based processing of the concrete to yield the absolute used in perfumery and flavoring applications.

Jasmin absolute china naturally occurs in the flowers of Jasminum grandiflorum, a jasmine species cultivated primarily in subtropical regions including China. In practice, it serves predominantly as an odor and flavor agent contributing a rich, floral jasmine note to perfumes, cosmetics, and various flavor formulations. The compound complies with IFRA (Global) standards, which regulate concentration limits to ensure safe use in consumer products. Additionally, FEMA (US) has assigned Jasmin absolute china number 2598, recognizing its use as a flavoring substance. Its versatility in imparting natural floral character makes it valuable in fine fragrances, personal care products, and select food flavorings.

Jasmin absolute china is characterized by a specific gravity ranging from 0.91 to 0.98 at 25 °C and a refractive index between 1.478 and 1.492 at 20 °C, indicating a moderately dense and optically active liquid. The material features an estimated flash point of 93 °C (200 °F), reflecting moderate volatility and flammability, which informs handling and storage conditions. Solubility is complex; it is reported as soluble in alcohol and partially soluble in water at approximately 1344 mg/L at 25 °C, although it is generally insoluble in water as a whole, affecting formulation strategies. The shelf life under proper storage—cool, dry, protected from heat and light—is about 12 months or longer, ensuring stability for formulators. These properties influence its integration into fragrance blends and flavor compositions.

	Notes:
IFRA FLAVOR REQUIREMENTS:
Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.
Use levels for FEMA GRAS flavoring substances on which the FEMA Expert Panel based its judgments that the substances are generally recognized as safe (GRAS).
The Expert Panel also publishes separate extensive reviews of scientific information on all FEMA GRAS flavoring substances and can be found at FEMA Flavor Ingredient Library
