lanceolata concrete

Lanceolata concrete is a natural extract obtained from the leaves of Tasmannia lanceolata, also known as mountain pepper bush. It appears as a semi-solid substance characterized by a pronounced spicy and fresh peppery aroma. Recognized under synonyms such as mountain pepper bush concrete and Tasmannia lanceolata concrete, this material is classified chemically as a plant-derived concrete with notable organoleptic attributes. The compound’s sensory profile includes both odorous and flavor elements described as hot and spicy. Sourced primarily through botanical extraction methods from the leaf, lanceolata concrete is linked in chemical databases such as PubChem, where its properties and usage are documented.

This concrete is derived specifically from the leaves of the Tasmannia lanceolata plant, which is native to certain mountainous regions and known for its peppery flavor profile. The material is employed predominantly as a flavoring agent, contributing a spicy and fresh character to various formulations. Its applications extend to food and beverage flavor enhancement where spice notes are desired. The use of lanceolata concrete is addressed under the FEMA (US) guidelines for flavoring agents, ensuring regulatory compliance for such natural extracts in flavor applications.

Lanceolata concrete exhibits moderate solubility in alcohol, which assists in its incorporation into formulations requiring alcohol-based solvents. It is not soluble in water, indicating a lipophilic nature that influences its extraction and use in flavor formulations. This insolubility in water impacts its blending behavior and sensory release in aqueous systems. The chemical stability and relatively inert hazard profile make it suitable for flavor use without significant safety restrictions. Its spicy odor and flavor intensities are typical of concrete extracts containing complex mixtures of volatile compounds responsible for fresh peppery and hot spicy notes.
