atractylodes lancea root

atractylodes lancea root refers to the dried root of the plant species in the Atractylodes genus, known for its distinctive spicy and woody odor characteristics. This root extract is sometimes labeled under various synonyms such as atractylis ovata root or Atractylis oil. The extract typically features a strong peppery and slightly dry aroma reminiscent of elemi, ginger, and galangal when diluted at 1.00% in dipropylene glycol. It is a natural botanical material often studied for its aromatic properties rather than extensive commercial flavor or fragrance use. The compound is documented in chemical databases such as PubChem. This root is sourced from cultivated or wild plants in specific geographic regions where the species grows.

atractylodes lancea root occurs naturally as the subterranean part of the Atractylodes plants, which are found primarily in East Asia. Its essential oils exhibit a spicy, woody, and somewhat dry aroma profile, which contributes to its study in aroma chemistry and phytochemical research. According to FEMA (US), the root is categorized as information only and is not typically employed in commercial fragrance or flavor applications. The substance’s usage levels for scent or taste applications are not recommended, reflecting its limited direct formulation use. However, it finds relevance in botanical research and may represent a source for bioactive volatile compounds in laboratory settings.

The root extract of atractylodes lancea is characterized by strong aromatic volatile compounds that impart a spicy woody and peppery scent profile. When presented at 1.00% concentration in dipropylene glycol, it reveals complex notes such as dry elemi and galanga, indicating a mixture of sesquiterpenes and other constituents that contribute to its olfactory character. No specific toxicity classification or hazard statements exist under OSHA regulations, suggesting a low hazard profile based on current data. Its physico-chemical stability in formulations may be influenced by volatility and solvent medium, with limited industrial use constraining extensive physical data. The extract is generally stable but not widely formulated for fragrance or flavor due to safety and regulatory considerations.
