Onion extract

Onion extract (CAS 8054-39-5) is a concentrated botanical preparation derived from Allium cepa, delivering the characteristic pungent, savory flavor profile associated with onion across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

It captures the sulfur-based flavor compounds and bioactive constituents of raw onion in a standardized, shelf-stable form suited for industrial use. In food manufacturing, it is used to flavor soups, sauces, and seasonings.

This extract is ideal for snack coatings and processed meat products where consistent flavor intensity is required without the handling challenges of fresh onion. Savory flavor houses incorporate it into natural flavor blends.

These seasoning systems target clean-label formulations for modern consumers. In personal care, it is used in scalp and hair care products where its antioxidant constituents support formulation stability and active positioning.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a standardized botanical ingredient in dietary supplements and topical preparations. It is supplied as a liquid extract, spray-dried powder, or paste.

The form depends on the intended application and processing requirements. Food-grade is the primary commercial specification, with some suppliers offering standardized grades defined by quercetin or organosulfur content.

Packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities suited for industrial procurement volumes. This ensures that the product meets various manufacturing scales while maintaining high quality standards like FCC.
