myristica fragrans seed tincture

Myristica fragrans seed tincture is an extract derived from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree. Commonly referred to as nutmeg tincture or nutmeg ext., it presents as a liquid preparation capturing the characteristic spicy and warm aroma associated with nutmeg. The tincture contains complex aromatic compounds that provide spicy woody, balsam, green, waxy, and floral odor notes alongside its spicy nutmeg flavor. It serves as a versatile ingredient in flavor and fragrance applications. This extract links to authoritative chemical databases such as PubChem for detailed chemical information. The tincture is typically obtained by solvent extraction of nutmeg seeds, concentrating their aromatic constituents for use in formulations.

Myristica fragrans seed tincture originates from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree, commonly known as nutmeg. It naturally occurs as part of the essential and volatile compounds within the seed. This tincture finds applications predominantly as a flavor and fragrance agent due to its characteristic spicy nutmeg aroma and taste. It is incorporated into a range of products including perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings. Usage guidelines are established under standards such as IFRA (Global), which recommends a maximum concentration of 50 ppm in finished products to ensure safe use without adverse effects. Its presence adds complexity and warmth to formulations, making it a valued component in the flavor and fragrance industries.

Myristica fragrans seed tincture exhibits physico-chemical properties influenced by its solvent-based extraction from nutmeg seeds, yielding a complex mixture of aromatic compounds with spicy, woody, balsam, green, waxy, and floral characteristics. The tincture is a liquid at ambient temperature, facilitating easy incorporation into diverse product matrices. Its composition includes various volatile compounds with differing solubilities and chemical stabilities, necessitating consideration during formulation to maintain aromatic integrity and shelf life. The tincture's molecular complexity contributes to its characteristic strong spicy nutmeg flavor and odor profile, which is stable under typical manufacturing and storage conditions. These properties affect how it blends with other ingredients and define its sensory impact in end products.
