Juniper extract

Juniper extract (CAS 84603-69-0), derived from the berries of Juniperus communis, is a botanical extract used as a flavoring agent and antioxidant across food, beverage, and personal care manufacturing.

FEMA 2603 status confirms its recognized use as a flavoring ingredient in the U.S. market. In food and beverage production, it delivers the characteristic piney, resinous, and slightly citrus flavor profile.

This extract is commonly associated with gin and other spirit formulations. Meat processors and savory food manufacturers incorporate it into marinades, seasonings, and cured product recipes where its aromatic bitterness adds depth.

In personal care formulations, it functions as a botanical active in toners, cleansing products, and scalp treatments targeting oil control. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers also source it for herbal preparations.

Juniper extract is supplied as a liquid extract, dried powder, or standardized concentrate depending on the intended application. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly available formats.

Solvent-extracted and CO₂-extracted variants are offered to meet different formulation requirements. Buyers should confirm solvent residue standards and berry origin when evaluating suppliers for regulated applications.
