Leek extract

Leek extract (CAS 84650-15-7), also referenced commercially as Allium porrum ext., is a botanical extract derived from the leek plant used to deliver characteristic mild onion-like flavor profiles.

It captures the aromatic and flavoring compounds of fresh leek in a concentrated, standardized form suited for industrial formulation in food and personal care applications.

In food manufacturing, it is used to flavor soups, sauces, seasonings, and savory snack coatings where consistent flavor intensity is required across production batches.

Processed meat and ready-meal producers incorporate it to replicate fresh leek character without the handling and shelf-life constraints of raw material.

In personal care, it appears in scalp and hair care formulations where botanical Allium extracts are positioned as active ingredients supporting product differentiation.

Cosmetic manufacturers also use it in natural-positioned skin care lines to align with clean-label and plant-derived ingredient trends for modern consumers.

The product is available in liquid and powder form, with liquid variants typically supplied as glycerin- or water-based solutions and powders offered in spray-dried formats.

Supply grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with food-grade material conforming to applicable flavor ingredient standards and packaging ranging from small drums to bulk.
