bitter fennel seed oil lithuania

Bitter fennel seed oil lithuania, known scientifically as Foeniculum vulgare Mill. var. vulgare (Mill.) Thell., is an essential oil obtained from the seeds of the fennel plant. It generally appears as a liquid with a characteristic minty and licorice-like odor, reflecting its complex volatile composition. This oil is synonymous with various names such as Fennel oil, Bitter fennel oil, Oil of fennel, and Oleum foeniculi. Its chemical profile and sensory properties are documented under established databases like PubChem. The oil is primarily sourced through steam distillation of fennel seeds cultivated or processed in Lithuania and surrounding regions. This essential oil is distinct from other fennel oils derived from different plant parts or varieties.

The oil occurs naturally in the seeds of the fennel plant, Foeniculum vulgare, which is common in temperate regions including Lithuania. It is predominantly utilized in cosmetic formulations for its skin conditioning effects, functioning as an emollient and soothing agent. Additionally, it is valued as a tonic in skin care products. Despite its aromatic characteristics, bitter fennel seed oil lithuania is not employed in fragrance or flavor compositions due to regulatory recommendations, including guidance from IFRA (Global), which restrict usage to non-fragrance and non-flavor applications based on its chemical constituents and safety profile.

Bitter fennel seed oil lithuania exhibits limited water solubility but is soluble in alcohol and shows an estimated water solubility of approximately 98.68 mg/L at 25 °C. These solubility characteristics influence its behavior in cosmetic formulations and extraction processes. The oil’s minty odor with licorice notes derives from its volatile chemical constituents, shaping its organoleptic profile. The physical and chemical traits, such as its immiscibility with water combined with alcohol solubility, guide its incorporation in emulsions and topical applications. Its handling and stability are considerations based on these properties.
