zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil

Zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil is a volatile essential oil derived via steam distillation from the fruit of the Zanthoxylum acanthopodium plant, known for citrus and floral notes.

General Material Description

Zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil is a volatile essential oil obtained through steam distillation of the fruit of Zanthoxylum acanthopodium, a plant in the Rutaceae family. This oil, detailed on PubChem, is characterized by its citrus-floral and resinous aroma profile typical of Sichuan pepper species. It is also known by synonyms such as 'andaliman pepper oil' and 'toothache tree fruit oil', reflecting traditional and regional naming. The oil’s sensory profile includes floral, citrus, and resinous terpenic notes, making it valuable in flavor and fragrance industries. It is primarily sourced from steam distillation extraction of ripe fruits from wild or cultivated plants native to Southeast Asia.

Occurrence, Applicability & Potential Uses

This oil naturally occurs in the fruit of Zanthoxylum acanthopodium, a species found in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. Its occurrence in these fruits yields an oil used extensively as a flavoring and fragrance agent, contributing citrus and spicy notes to products. The oil’s inclusion in cosmetics is predominantly for its fragrance attributes. Regulatory frameworks such as the IFRA (Global) standards guide its maximum concentrations in formulations, ensuring safe use especially because it contains sensitizing components like citronellol at low levels. Its unique organoleptic characteristics make it suitable for savory flavor profiles and perfumery applications.

Physico-Chemical Properties Summary

Zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil is a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds, primarily terpenes, contributing to its distinctive citrus and resinous aroma. It is soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water, influencing its behavior in different formulation environments. This selective solubility facilitates incorporation into alcoholic flavor extracts and perfume bases while limiting direct aqueous dispersal. The oil’s volatility and chemical composition affect its stability and sensory longevity in end products. These properties dictate its compatibility with various cosmetic and flavor matrices, requiring careful formulation to optimize olfactory impact.

FAQ

What is zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil and where does it come from?
Zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil is an essential oil extracted by steam distillation from the fruit of the Zanthoxylum acanthopodium plant, a member of the Rutaceae family. It is also called andaliman pepper oil or toothache tree fruit oil. The plant grows mainly in Southeast Asia, where the fruit is harvested to produce this volatile oil known for its citrus and floral aromas.
How is zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil used in flavor and fragrance applications?
The oil’s characteristic citrus and resinous notes make it valuable as a flavor and fragrance ingredient. It is incorporated into savory flavor preparations to add a lemony and slightly floral aroma. In fragrance products, it provides fresh, spicy, and resinous tones. Its solubility in alcohol and insolubility in water influence formulation strategies to optimize scent stability and release.
What regulations apply to zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil and how is its safety managed?
Use of zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit oil in cosmetics and flavors is regulated by the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice, which restricts the concentration of certain sensitizing constituents such as citronellol. No specific hazard classifications have been identified under OSHA standards. Safety assessments have been conducted by organizations like RIFM. Users should consult current regulatory documents to ensure compliance and safe usage levels.
