Absinthium Extract

Absinthium Extract (CAS 84929-19-1), also referenced by its FEMA 3115 designation, is derived from Artemisia absinthium and delivers the plant's characteristic bitter, herbaceous profile to finished products. Known in trade as Absinthium ext., it functions as a natural bittering and flavoring agent across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. In alcoholic beverages, it contributes the signature bitter complexity.

This extract is required in vermouth, bitters, and herbal liqueurs, where botanical authenticity drives formulation decisions. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into digestive tonics and bitter preparations. It is often preferred over synthetic alternatives in medicinal applications. In flavored confectionery and functional food products, it provides a controlled bitter note that balances sweetness in small-use concentrations.

Personal care and cosmetic formulators use it in oral care products and aromatic preparations where a herbaceous, bitter character supports the intended sensory profile. It is typically supplied as a liquid or powder. Concentration and solvent carrier vary by supplier specification. Food-grade material conforming to FEMA 3115 status is the standard reference point for procurement in flavor applications and global trade.

Technical and cosmetic-grade forms are available for non-food end uses. Buyers should confirm extract ratio and solvent profile against their formulation requirements to ensure compatibility with existing manufacturing processes.
