juniperus mexicana extract

Juniperus mexicana extract is a natural herbal extract obtained from the wood of the Juniperus mexicana tree, commonly known as Texas cedarwood or Juniperus ashei. This extract presents a characteristic woody odor prominently described as cedar woody at a concentration of 100%. Recognized under several synonyms such as cedar wood extract Texas and juniperus ashei buch. extract, it is classified as a fragrance material utilized primarily in perfumery. The compound's inclusion in databases such as PubChem links it scientifically to plant-derived sesquiterpenoid constituents. The extract is obtained through solvent extraction techniques applied to the wood of the regional cedar species, supporting its use as a natural aromatic agent in various fragrance applications.

Juniperus mexicana extract originates biologically from the Juniperus mexicana species, a cedarwood tree native to Texas and surrounding areas. It contributes to the plant’s natural aromatic profile, characterized by its woody and cedar-like scent. This extract is applied mainly as a fragrance agent in perfumes and personal care products. It is valued for providing natural woody tones in formulations, complementing other aromatic components. The use and safety of juniperus mexicana extract fall under the IFRA (Global) standards for fragrance materials, which recommend usage guidelines to ensure consumer safety. The extract is not designated for flavor use according to current assessments, focusing exclusively on olfactory applications.

The physico-chemical profile of juniperus mexicana extract reflects its composition as a natural plant-derived complex mixture with significant woody odor attributes. Its volatile constituents, primarily sesquiterpenoids, confer the characteristic cedar woody scent. The extract is typically a viscous liquid with solubility properties suitable for incorporation into oil-based fragrance systems. Its chemical stability upon storage and under formulation conditions supports consistent aromatic delivery. The molecular features contribute to moderate volatility and persistence on the skin, important for lasting fragrance effects. The CAS registry number 91722-61-1 uniquely identifies this extract, aiding in safety and regulatory documentation.
