tobacco resinoid

Tobacco resinoid is a natural extract obtained from various Nicotiana species, including Nicotiana rustica and Nicotiana tabacum. It appears as a viscous, resinous substance known for its distinctive medium-strength tobacco odor and characteristic tobacco flavor. This resinoid is often referred to by synonyms such as nicotiana rustica resinoid, nicotiana spp. resinoid, and nicotiana tabacum resinoid. The compound is commonly used in flavor and fragrance industries to impart tobacco notes. Comprehensive chemical data and identifiers are cataloged under controlled-vocabulary resources like PubChem, where it is indexed as a distinct substance. The resinoid is typically extracted through solvent processes from cured tobacco leaves, capturing the complex aroma constituents inherent to the plant.

Tobacco resinoid is derived from the leaves of Nicotiana spp., predominantly Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana rustica, plants native to the Americas and cultivated worldwide. In nature, these species contain complex mixtures of chemical compounds responsible for their characteristic smells and flavors. The resinoid captures such compounds and is used extensively as an ingredient in flavor and fragrance formulations, providing an authentic tobacco odor and taste. Regulatory standards such as the IFRA Code of Practice (Global) guide its safe use in perfumery and related applications. Its notable substantivity, with odor retention measured up to 400 hours at full concentration, makes it valuable in long-lasting fragrance compositions.

Tobacco resinoid exhibits solubility in water estimated at about 40.9 mg per liter at 25 °C, reflecting partial water solubility consistent with its resinous nature. It presents as a thick, viscous material harboring a complex mixture of organic constituents extracted from tobacco leaves. The compound's medium-strength tobacco odor offers substantive persistence, contributing to its utility in perfumery and flavoring. These physicochemical characteristics influence its formulation capabilities, allowing incorporation into various product matrices where moderate water compatibility and long organoleptic endurance are desirable. The compound's stability under typical conditions supports its application in diverse sensory products.
