celery seed oil CO2 extract

Celery seed oil CO2 extract is a concentrated oil obtained via carbon dioxide extraction from the seeds of Apium graveolens. This substance is characterized by a herbal, green, and anisic odor with aromatic and phenolic woody nuances. It is known by various synonyms, including apium graveolens seed oil CO2 extract and celery seed CO2-to extract, type no. 106.002. The extraction method preserves the oil’s complex scent and flavor profile, which reflects the original celery seeds’ properties. Additional names such as carum graveolens seed oil CO2 extract appear in literature. This oil is detailed in the PubChem database as a natural product derived from a well-known Apiaceae family member. The CO2 extraction enables high purity and retention of delicate aromatic compounds compared to other methods.

Celery seed oil CO2 extract is naturally found in the seeds of Apium graveolens, commonly known as celery. It is primarily employed as a flavoring and fragrance agent in various commercial products. Its herbal and slightly spicy aroma makes it suitable for use in savory food formulations, enhancing flavors in meat and vegetable dishes. The extract also complements brown flavor profiles such as nuts, walnuts, and coffee. According to IFRA (Global) standards, the ingredient is regulated for use in fragrances with a maximum concentration advised to ensure consumer safety. This oil serves as a natural alternative or complement to other herbal and spice oils in both culinary and perfumery applications.

Celery seed oil CO2 extract has a flash point of approximately 49°C (120°F), indicating relatively low volatility and contributing to its stability during formulation processes. The extract is soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water, impacting its incorporation into various product matrices. Its chemical composition preserves phenolic and terpenic compounds responsible for its herbal aromatic character. These physicochemical traits favor its use in concentrated flavor and fragrance formulations where controlled release and compatibility with solvents are necessary. The CO2 extraction method typically results in minimal thermal degradation, maintaining the integrity of heat-sensitive components within the oil.
