arachis hypogaea oil CO2 extract

Arachis hypogaea oil CO2 extract is an oily lipid substance obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of peanut seeds. It appears as a pale to golden yellow liquid with a characteristic medium-strength nutty odor reminiscent of roasted peanuts and peanut butter. Also known simply as peanut oil or groundnut oil, this extract is a natural source of triglycerides rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Synonyms include katchung oil, arachis oil, and earthnut oil. The oil is referenced in controlled-vocabulary databases such as PubChem. Sourced primarily from cultivated peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea), it is widely utilized in flavor, fragrance, and cosmetic industries due to its sensory attributes and emollient properties.

Arachis hypogaea oil CO2 extract is derived directly from the seeds of the peanut plant, a leguminous crop grown worldwide. The extract maintains the natural aroma compounds responsible for its characteristic nutty scent and flavor, making it valuable for flavoring agents in food and fragrance formulations. It is commonly employed as an emollient and solvent in cosmetic products, supporting skin conditioning functions. The oil’s sensory qualities enable its inclusion in perfumes and personal care items. Compliance with standards such as IFRA (Global) ensures safe and standardized use in fragrances and consumer products.

The oil exhibits a flash point around 108 °C (228 °F), indicating stability during typical formulation and handling processes. Its physicochemical profile includes a composition rich in unsaturated fatty acids, contributing to its liquid state at room temperature and its characteristic oxidative behavior. The nutty odor profile, with medium strength and substantial substantivity, results from residual volatile compounds preserved during CO2 extraction. These properties enhance the oil's performance in applications requiring long-lasting aroma and conditioning effects. Such characteristics make it suitable for incorporation into topical formulations and scented products.
