Coriander seed oil

Coriander seed oil (CAS 8008-52-4), also known as coriander oil, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the dried fruits of Coriandrum sativum. Registered under FEMA 2334, it delivers a warm, spicy-herbaceous aromatic profile.

This profile underpins its commercial value across flavor, fragrance, and functional ingredient markets. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a natural flavoring agent in spice blends, sausages, and liqueurs.

It is also used in bakery products where a distinctive warm, citrus-herb note is required. Fragrance houses incorporate it into fine perfumery, soaps, and personal care formulations as a mid-note contributor.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a flavoring corrective in oral preparations. It is ideal for capsule formulations where masking or aromatic enhancement is needed for the final product.

Its antioxidant activity also supports shelf-life extension in certain lipid-based formulations. This makes it a functional rather than purely aromatic ingredient in those specific industrial applications.

Coriander seed oil is supplied as a pale yellow to colorless mobile liquid. It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with quality benchmarks aligned to FCC, BP, and Ph. Eur. standards.

These standards ensure compliance depending on the target application and regulatory requirements. Typical commercial packaging ranges from small amber glass units through to bulk drum quantities for industrial buyers.
