Melilot oil

Melilot oil (CAS 8023-73-2), derived from Melilotus officinalis, is a natural botanical extract used as a flavoring and fragrance ingredient across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

Its characteristic sweet, hay-like coumarin profile makes it a recognized choice for formulators seeking natural aromatic complexity in a wide variety of industrial and consumer product applications.

In flavor formulation, this oil contributes a distinctive sweet, herbaceous note to confectionery, baked goods, and tobacco flavor systems. Fragrance houses incorporate it into perfume compositions and personal care products.

It is particularly valued where warm, hay-like or herbal accords are required. In cosmetic formulations, it appears in creams, lotions, and botanical-positioned skincare lines targeting natural ingredient positioning.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers have also used it as a flavoring excipient in oral preparations where masking or aromatic enhancement is needed for better patient compliance and product appeal.

The product is supplied as a liquid botanical oil, typically in small-to-medium volume packaging suited to specialty fragrance and flavor procurement. It is available in natural and standardized grades.

Food-grade quality is aligned to flavoring use requirements. Buyers sourcing for food or pharmaceutical applications should confirm compliance with relevant regional flavoring regulations and supplier quality documentation.
