Curcuma oil

Curcuma oil (CAS 8024-37-1), also known as turmeric oil, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa. It delivers the characteristic warm, spicy-earthy aroma of turmeric without the intense yellow pigmentation.

Buyers across food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors source it primarily for flavoring, fragrance, and antioxidant stabilization functions. In food and beverage manufacturing, it is used to impart authentic turmeric flavor to seasonings and sauces.

This oil is ideal for functional food products where color control is a formulation priority. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skin creams, hair oils, and aromatherapy blends for its distinctive scent profile and antioxidant contribution.

In fragrance compounding, it serves as a warm base note in oriental and spice-forward compositions. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent in softgels, oral liquids, and herbal preparations.

It is particularly useful where turmeric character is required without standardized curcuminoid content. Curcuma oil is supplied as a liquid in standard packaging ranging from small drums to bulk quantities for industrial use.

It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with quality assessed against established parameters. These include optical rotation, refractive index, and GC profile to ensure consistency across batches.

Buyers should confirm origin and extraction method, as composition varies between Indian and other regional sources. Adherence to FCC or USP standards may be required depending on the specific application and regulatory needs.
