Black mustard extract

Black mustard extract (CAS 90064-15-6), also referenced under FEMA 2760, is a concentrated botanical extract derived from Brassica nigra seed. It delivers the characteristic pungent, sharp flavor profile associated with black mustard.

This versatile extract is used across food, personal care, and agricultural applications as a flavoring agent, antioxidant, and natural preservative. In food manufacturing, it functions as a flavoring ingredient in condiments, sauces, and marinades.

It is particularly effective in spice blends where a defined mustard heat profile is required. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators incorporate it for its antioxidant activity, supporting shelf-life extension in botanical preparations.

The extract is also utilized in standardized extracts and various medicinal formulations. In personal care, it appears in scalp treatments and hair care formulations targeting stimulation and conditioning benefits for the consumer.

Agricultural applications leverage its biocidal properties for use in crop protection and feed additive formulations. Black mustard extract is commercially available as a liquid extract or dry powder depending on the application.

The choice between liquid and powder forms depends on the specific solubility requirements of the final product. Food-grade material conforming to FEMA 2760 designation is the standard reference for flavoring use in the industry.

Technical-grade material is available for agricultural and industrial applications where food compliance is not required. This ensures that manufacturers can select the appropriate grade based on their specific regulatory and functional needs.
