Description
Coconut CO2 Extract Product Overview
Coconut CO2 extract is obtained from coconut flesh (Cocos nucifera) by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. Besides coconut oil (CAS 8001-31-8), it carries the characteristic aroma compounds of coconut, especially delta-lactones such as δ-octalactone and δ-decalactone, which give its creamy, sweet and milky note.
Flavor houses use it in confectionery, bakery, dairy, ice cream and beverages for an authentic coconut taste, and in plant-based milk alternatives. Perfumers use it in tropical and gourmand compositions, and cosmetic formulators use it in body care and lip products.
Because no organic solvents are used, it suits natural flavor declarations. Other CO2 extracts in our range include Coffee Extract, Cardamom Extract and Ginger Extract; for a classic sweet aroma chemical, see Vanillin.
