Garlic oil

Garlic oil (CAS 8008-99-9, EC 232-371-1) is a steam-distilled or solvent-extracted essential oil derived from Allium sativum bulbs. It is commercially known under names including Garlicin, Allitridi, and KYOLIC, and is registered under FEMA 2503 for flavoring applications. No E-code designation applies within the EU.

In food manufacturing, garlic oil delivers sulfur-compound-driven flavoring at low inclusion rates, with organosulfur constituents such as allicin providing measurable antimicrobial activity that extends shelf life in processed products. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations, it functions as an active botanical ingredient, where its antioxidant capacity supports cardiovascular-related health claims.

Garlic oil is available in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with compliance referenced against FCC standards and REACH registration requirements for EU market supply. It is typically supplied in amber glass bottles or stainless-steel drums to protect against oxidative degradation. Buyers should confirm origin, extraction method, and allicin content with the supplier prior to procurement.
