jasmin flower distillates

Jasmin flower distillates are complex natural extracts obtained by distillation of jasmine flowers, renowned for their characteristic floral aroma used in flavorings. These distillates contain a mixture of volatile compounds responsible for the distinctive jasmin note. Also referred to as jasmine flower distillate natural or jasmine flower distillates, these materials appear as clear liquids with specific gravity and refractive index values reflective of their composition. The sensory profile is predominately floral, capturing the essence of jasmin blooms. Their extraction from fresh jasmine petals follows a controlled distillation process to preserve volatile constituents. For detailed chemical information, see PubChem. Storage and handling require protection from heat and light to retain quality over time.

Jasmin flower distillates occur naturally as extracts from the blossoms of jasmine plants. They are primarily utilized as flavoring agents in food and beverage applications, where their floral profile adds a delicate jasmin character. The use of these distillates is governed under standards such as FEMA (US), which provide guidelines to ensure consistent quality and safety in flavor formulations. Their application may extend to specialty beverages, confectionery, and perfumery bases, although they are not recommended for fragrance use directly. As botanical extracts, they offer an alternative to synthetic jasmine aroma chemicals in various formulations.

These distillates exhibit a specific gravity ranging from approximately 0.9615 to 1.0115 at 25 °C and a refractive index between 1.4288 and 1.4368 at 20 °C. Such properties reflect the balance of volatile organic compounds extracted from jasmine flowers. The physical characteristics affect their solubility and blending behavior in flavor compositions. Recommended storage involves cool, dry conditions within tightly sealed containers, shielding the product from heat and light exposure to prolong shelf life typically around six months or longer if maintained properly. These parameters are essential for maintaining the integrity and consistency of the jasmin floral note in finished products.
