mimosa absolute india

Mimosa Absolute India is a concentrated essential oil derived from the flowers of Acacia decurrens Willd. var. dealbata, commonly known as mimosa. This naturally sourced extract presents a medium-strength floral aroma characterized by green, grassy, waxy, woody, and spicy notes. Known also by synonyms such as acacia dealbata absolute and mimosa oil, it features complex olfactory qualities combining fruity and herbal nuances. The product is widely utilized as a fragrance and flavor agent, and its production involves solvent extraction methods. Regarding chemical classification, it is categorized as an aromatic essential oil, extensively documented in chemical registries including the PubChem database. Storage conditions recommend protecting it from heat and light to preserve its sensory properties and shelf life.

This material originates from the botanical species Acacia decurrens Willd. var. dealbata, a flowering plant known for its vibrant yellow blossoms. Mimosa Absolute India finds application primarily within flavor and fragrance industries, valued for imparting floral and fruity notes to perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products. It contributes complex facets such as green, spicy, woody, and honeyed nuances, enhancing compositions that evoke natural and fresh profiles. In flavoring, it is used notably for tea-flavored products, aligning with its mild, waxy, and floral taste profile. Regulatory oversight is provided by FEMA (US), with designation FEMA 2755, endorsing its use under defined conditions. The IFRA (Global) Code of Practice also sets usage limits to manage sensitization risks linked to trace components in the material.

At 25 °C, Mimosa Absolute India exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.989 to 1.22 and a refractive index between 1.49 and 1.55 at 20 °C. Its solubility profile includes good miscibility with alcohol and propylene glycol while it remains insoluble in water, dictating its behavior in formulations. The flash point is approximately 93 °C (200 °F), indicating moderate volatility and requiring handling away from ignition sources. The oil’s shelf life extends to about 12 months when stored properly in sealed containers within cool, dry conditions protected from heat and light. These properties influence stability, compatibility, and performance in both flavor and fragrance applications, guiding selection criteria for formulators.
