jasmin absolute india (from concrete)

Jasmin absolute india, derived from the concrete of Jasminum grandiflorum flowers, is a viscous aromatic substance widely utilized in perfumery and flavoring. This absolute is characterized by its rich, complex floral scent closely resembling natural jasmine. Known by various synonyms such as jasmine absolute and jasminum grandiflorum l. absolute, it offers a scent profile encompassing green and flowery facets. The substance is not a pure chemical compound but a natural mixture extracted through solvent extraction methods from jasmine flower material. It relates to the class of natural aromatic extracts catalogued in chemical resources such as PubChem. Typically sourced in India, this jasmin absolute represents a key natural ingredient in the fragrance industry.

Jasmin absolute india originates biologically from Jasminum grandiflorum flowers, a species cultivated mainly in India. Its primary use is as an aromatic agent in perfumes, offering a warm floral essence with green undertones. It is applied in both fine fragrances and flavor formulations for products such as teas and tropical flavor notes. According to the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) Standards (Global), this absolute is subject to usage concentration limits to ensure consumer safety, especially regarding dermal sensitization potential. In perfumery, it blends well with accord accords like amber, rose, and woody notes, enhancing floral compositions. Due to its natural origin, it is valued in formulations requiring authentic jasmine scent profiles.

Jasmin absolute india appears as a dense, viscous liquid with 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. It is partially soluble in alcohol and exhibits limited estimated solubility in water (approximately 1344 mg/L at 25 °C). The absolute has a relatively high flash point near 200 °F (about 93 °C), reflecting moderate flammability. Its shelf life extends to at least 24 months when stored in cool, dry, and dark conditions in sealed containers. These properties influence its handling, incorporation, and stability in fragrance and flavor formulations, as well as safety precaution measures.

	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
