Garlic oil

Garlic oil (CAS 8000-78-0), also identified under FEMA 2503, is a steam-distilled or solvent-extracted essential oil derived from Allium sativum bulbs. It delivers the characteristic pungent flavor and aroma of garlic in concentrated form. Its organosulfur compound profile gives it recognized antimicrobial and preservative activity across multiple industries. In food manufacturing, it is used to flavor seasonings, sauces, marinades, and processed meats.

It is ideal for savory snack coatings where consistent flavor intensity is required at low usage levels. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators incorporate it into softgel capsules, tablets, and dietary supplements. These products often target cardiovascular and immune health positioning. In agricultural and animal feed applications, it functions as a natural feed additive and pest deterrent for poultry and livestock.

It is used in feed to reduce pathogen load and improve palatability. Flavor houses also use it as a raw material in compounding savory flavor systems for the global food ingredient trade. The product is supplied as a dark amber to yellow liquid. It is available in food-grade quality conforming to FCC and FEMA standards, with natural and organic-certified variants offered for clean-label formulations.

Bulk supply is typically offered in drums or smaller packaging for flavor and nutraceutical applications. This ensures stability and ease of handling for large-scale industrial manufacturing processes.
