jasmin absolute egypt (from concrete)

Jasmin absolute egypt (from concrete) is an aromatic concentrate obtained from the concrete extracted from the flowers of Jasminum grandiflorum L. This natural extract is valued for its rich floral and sweet scent complemented by herbal, fruity, and waxy nuances. Also known by names such as jasmine absolute, jasmine oil, and jasminum grandiflorum absolute, it serves extensively as a key ingredient in the fragrance and flavor industries. It is a complex blend of volatile components providing medium-strength floral odor with remarkable substantivity. The material is typically sourced by solvent extraction of jasmine flowers, followed by careful processing to yield the concrete and subsequent absolute. For detailed chemical information, it is indexed under PubChem linked entries.

Derived biologically from the flowers of the Jasminum grandiflorum plant, jasmin absolute egypt (from concrete) is found naturally in the blooming jasmine flower. Its unique aromatic profile lends itself to use primarily as a fragrance agent in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products. Additionally, its delicate floral and fruity flavor notes enable application as a flavoring agent in premium teas and select specialty food formulations. The material is compliant with the FEMA (US) standard, which recognizes it as a flavor and fragrance agent, guiding safe use concentrations in consumer products. Its versatility includes blending with berry, oriental, floral, and woody notes, as well as integration into notable fine fragrance formulations.

Jasmin absolute egypt exhibits moderate volatility with a flash point of approximately 67 °C (152 °F), reflecting its combustible liquid nature. It demonstrates solubility in alcohol and dipropylene glycol but limited solubility in water and propylene glycol, influencing formulation practices favoring alcohol-based carriers. The material is stable under standard storage conditions but requires protection from heat and light to maintain fragrance integrity. It has an estimated water solubility of 1344 mg/L at 25 °C. The absolute’s shelf life is about 24 months when stored properly in tightly sealed containers under cool and dry conditions. These properties dictate handling, blending, and storage protocols in industrial applications.

	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
