chrysanthemum distillates

Chrysanthemum distillates are natural botanical extracts obtained through distillation processes, presenting as liquids characterized by an earthy flavor profile. These distillates, also referred to as chrysanthemum distillate natural, derive from Chrysanthemum flower materials and exhibit sensory notes appreciated in flavor applications. The compounds related to these extracts are documented in public chemical databases such as PubChem, which facilitates detailed chemical and safety data access. Typically sourced through steam distillation or hydrodistillation, chrysanthemum distillates capture the essence of the flower's volatile constituents and are utilized predominantly for their aromatic and flavor characteristics in product formulations.

Chrysanthemum distillates occur naturally as volatile extracts from Chrysanthemum flowers and find their primary application as flavoring agents, especially in beverages. Their inclusion enhances beverage flavor profiles with an earthy note. Regulatory guidelines such as FEMA (US) standards address the use of flavoring compounds within safe limits. These distillates are not intended for fragrance applications and should be used in alignment with food flavoring regulations. The natural occurrence and extraction methods influence the quality and organoleptic attributes that make chrysanthemum distillates suitable for selective flavoring purposes.

Chrysanthemum distillates possess specific gravity values ranging approximately from 0.96 to 1.01 at 25 °C, indicating a liquid density close to that of water, which affects blending and formulation processes. The refractive index spans from approximately 1.33 to 1.34 at 20 °C, providing insight into purity and quality parameters. The distillates exhibit a flash point near 47 °C (117 °F), suggesting moderate flammability precautions during handling and storage. Their shelf life is generally six months but may extend if stored in cool, dry conditions away from heat and light, all maintained in tightly sealed containers. These properties are relevant considerations for flavorists and formulators when incorporating the distillates into finished products.
