copaifera reticulata extract

Copaifera reticulata extract is a natural oleoresin derived from the balsam exudate of the Copaifera reticulata tree, also known by its synonym Copaifera officinalis, belonging to the leguminosae family. This substance appears as a viscous, resinous liquid exhibiting a distinctly balsamic odor and flavor profile, characteristic of the copaiba balsams. Common synonyms include Copaiba balsam extract, Copaiba oleoresin, Jesuit's balsam, and Balsam capivi. Its chemical composition contributes to its use across flavor and fragrance formulations. Further chemical information and classification details can be accessed via the PubChem database. The extract is traditionally obtained through tapping the copaiba tree’s trunk, collecting the exuded resin.

The Copaifera reticulata extract naturally derives from the Copaifera species, trees native to tropical regions of South America. It serves primarily as a flavor and fragrance agent due to its characteristic balsamic odor and taste. Within perfumery and flavoring sectors, it is valued for imparting warm, resinous balsamic notes. Its utilization follows safety frameworks such as the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice, ensuring controlled concentrations in consumer products. Its biological origin and oleoresin nature make it applicable in formulations requiring natural balsamic-type scents and flavors.

Copaifera reticulata extract presents as a viscous, resinous oleoresin exhibiting stable balsamic odor and flavor characteristics. Its physical state at ambient temperature is a thick liquid, contributing to its handling properties in formulations. The composition includes a mixture of sesquiterpenes and diterpenes that defines its sensory profile and influences volatility and solubility parameters relevant to flavor and fragrance applications. The extract’s chemical stability and solubility in common solvents are important for incorporation into complex product matrices. Its relatively low oral toxicity, indicated by an LD50 in rats of 3790 µL/kg, informs its safety profile in accordance with regulatory standards. The oleoresin does not possess classification hazards under GHS regulations, facilitating its use under established exposure guidelines.
