cymbopogon flexuosus herb extract

Cymbopogon flexuosus herb extract is a botanical extract obtained from the herbs of the lemon grass species Cymbopogon flexuosus, belonging to the Gramineae family. This extract typically appears as a viscous liquid characterized by a fresh citrus aroma reminiscent of lemongrass. It is known under several synonyms including andropogon ampliflorus herb extract and cymbopogon travancorensis herb extract. The compound is chemically complex and contributes citrus sensory qualities to formulations. The extract is naturally sourced through the distillation or solvent extraction of the herb's fresh or dried material. Relevant chemical information can be found in its PubChem profile.

Cymbopogon flexuosus occurs naturally in tropical and subtropical regions where the lemongrass plant thrives. Extracts derived from this species are widely applied in flavor and fragrance industries due to their distinctive citrus and fresh notes. The herb extract is incorporated into perfuming agents and flavoring formulations, enhancing products by imparting a natural lemon-like character. Its use aligns with safety and regulatory standards including the IFRA (Global) standards for fragrance materials, which guide concentration and application in consumer products.

This herb extract exhibits characteristic citrus odor and flavor profiles attributable to its complex mixture of volatile organic compounds. It is typically a viscous liquid at ambient temperature with chemical constituents that influence volatility, solubility, and stability. These properties facilitate its compatibility with diverse formulation matrices, allowing effective integration into flavor or fragrance systems. The extract’s sensory properties are stable under normal handling and storage conditions, making it suitable for varied applications requiring natural citrus attributes.
