Cardamom oil

Cardamom oil (CAS 8000-66-6), also known by its FEMA designation 2241, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the seeds of Elettaria cardamomum. It delivers a warm, spicy-sweet aromatic profile that drives demand across flavoring, fragrance, and pharmaceutical applications.

In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a natural flavoring agent in baked goods, confectionery, liqueurs, and spiced beverages where authentic cardamom character is required. Personal care formulators incorporate it into perfumes and soaps.

It is also used in oral care products for its distinctive warm-spicy note and fixative contribution. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, it is used to mask unpleasant tastes and add flavor to oral preparations, syrups, and digestive formulations.

Its antioxidant activity also supports shelf-life extension in certain food and cosmetic formulations where oxidative stability is a purchasing consideration. Cardamom oil is supplied as a pale yellow to colorless mobile liquid for industrial use.

The product is typically available in packaging ranging from small drums to bulk containers suited to industrial volumes. Food-grade material conforming to FCC and FEMA 2241 standards is the most commercially prevalent specification.

Pharmaceutical-grade supply meeting BP or Ph. Eur. monograph requirements is available for regulated healthcare applications. This ensures the highest level of purity and compliance for sensitive manufacturing processes.
