Description
Cardamom CO2 Extract Product Overview
Cardamom CO2 extract is obtained from the seeds of green cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum, by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. It is a pale yellow to greenish liquid with a warm, sweet-spicy and slightly eucalyptus-like aroma. Its main components are α-terpinyl acetate (at least 45%) and 1,8-cineole.
Flavor houses use it in bakery, confectionery, coffee and tea blends, liqueurs and savory spice blends, where it gives a fuller, more authentic profile than distilled cardamom oil (CAS 8000-66-6). Perfumers use it in warm, spicy and oriental compositions.
Because supercritical extraction uses no organic solvents, it suits natural flavor declarations. Other spice CO2 extracts in our range include Ginger Extract, Cassia Extract and Coffee Extract, and the whole spice Star Anise.
