raspberry distillates

Raspberry distillates, also known as Oils, Rubus idaeus, or rubus idaeus fruit distillate, are natural flavor and fragrance extracts obtained from the fruit of Rubus idaeus, commonly called raspberry. These distillates possess a fresh berry aroma characterized by a clear raspberry note with subtle seedy and slightly jammy nuances that reproduce the complete raspberry sensory profile. Known by synonyms such as raspberry alcoholate and raspberry treattarome (various grades like 9845, 9845-D, and 9845-P), the distillates are chiefly applied in flavor and fragrance formulations. The compound can be referenced in chemical and botanical databases such as PubChem. Derived via steam distillation or alcohol extraction from raspberry fruit, it serves as a natural source for imparting raspberry essence in multiple applications.

Raspberry distillates naturally occur in the fruit of the Rubus idaeus plant, contributing to its characteristic aroma and taste. Their biosynthesis is part of the complex volatile compounds in fresh raspberries. The distillates find their primary application as flavor and fragrance agents, especially in food and beverage products where a natural berry or mixed berry note is desired. They are also used in perfumery and cosmetic formulations to deliver fruit and tropical scent nuances. The material complies with standards such as FEMA (Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association) (US), supporting its usage in flavor systems across regulated markets.

These raspberry distillates exhibit a specific gravity ranging from 0.85 to 0.889 measured at 25°C, indicating a moderately dense liquid. Their refractive index falls between 1.41 and 1.446 at 20°C, which informs optical properties relevant for quality control and blending. They are soluble in solvents such as alcohol, propylene glycol, and water, with an estimated water solubility of approximately 13,460 mg/L at 25°C. Proper storage is essential to preserve quality; refrigeration in tightly sealed containers can extend the shelf life beyond 12 months. These physicochemical traits make the distillate suitable for diverse formulations requiring stable and consistent flavor delivery.
