coriandrum sativum leaf cera

Coriandrum sativum leaf cera is a natural wax obtained from the leaves of the coriander plant, also known by synonyms such as cilantro leaf wax and selinum coriandrum leaf cera. This wax exhibits a herbal odor reminiscent of fresh cilantro leaves, contributing to its unique sensory profile. It is categorized as a plant-derived wax and has an entry in the PubChem database, indicating its recognized chemical nature. The material is typically sourced through extraction or separation processes from coriander leaves, yielding a solid wax used primarily in fragrance compositions due to its characteristic aroma. The herbal note is especially valued in perfumery and related fields where natural scent ingredients are essential.

Coriandrum sativum leaf cera naturally occurs in the leaves of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum). It is applied principally as a fragrance agent within cosmetic and perfumery formulations, valued for its distinctive herbal scent that resembles cilantro. This wax contains natural constituents rich in linalool and related compounds, which influence its olfactory character and stability. The use of coriander leaf wax must adhere to IFRA (Global) standards, which include recommendations to maintain peroxide levels at minimal practical concentrations to prevent sensitization. Despite its aromatic properties, coriandrum sativum leaf cera is not recommended for flavor applications due to safety considerations outlined in regulatory frameworks.

Physico-chemically, coriandrum sativum leaf cera presents as a solid waxy substance with a characteristic herbal odor attributable to volatile components such as linalool. The presence of these compounds necessitates control of oxidation levels, as peroxides can develop and affect fragrance quality. Antioxidants like BHT or alpha-tocopherol are typically added during production to stabilize the wax by minimizing peroxide formation, ensuring material integrity and consistency. Its melting characteristics and hydrophobic nature influence formulation behavior, requiring careful consideration for homogeneous integration in fragranced products. The wax's aroma profile and chemical stability make it suitable for use in perfumery under appropriate handling and storage conditions.

IFRA Code of Practice Notification of the 49th Amendment to the IFRA Code of Practice
IFRA Critical Effect:
Sensitization
IFRA fragrance material specification:
	Linalool and natural products known to be rich in linalool, such as bois de rose, coriander or ho wood oil, should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the lowest practical level. It is recommended to add antioxidants at the time of production of the raw material. The addition of 0.1% BHT or alpha-tocopherol for example has shown great efficiency. The maximum peroxide level for products in use should be 20 mmol/l.
Recommendation for coriandrum sativum leaf cera flavor usage levels up to:
	not for flavor use.
