Caryophyllene Oxide CAS 1139-30-6

What Caryophyllene Oxide Is

Caryophyllene oxide is a bicyclic sesquiterpene oxide formed by epoxidizing beta caryophyllene. It is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid with a woody, spicy and clove like dryout, insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and fixed oils. In perfumery it adds woody depth and a spicy drydown to woody and oriental fragrances, and serves as a GC reference. UATChem supplies fragrance and technical grades, with assay and GC profile on the COA.

Fragrance, Flavor, Cosmetic and Research Uses

• Fragrance. Adds woody, spicy and slightly clove character and a long drydown in woody, oriental, men’s and spice fragrances, and works as a fixative and modifier in everyday and fine perfumery.
• Flavor. Used at low levels in spicy and clove type flavor work under FEMA 4085, following the destination flavor regulations and IFRA guidance.
• Cosmetics and personal care. Scents soaps, washes, creams, balms and aromatherapy products where a warm woody note is wanted.
• Reference and research. Bought as a GC reference standard and a natural product material for essential oil and terpene research, drawn from the same molecule found in clove, rosemary and cinnamon oils.

Typical Specifications

Fragrance and technical grades differ in assay and GC profile, reported on the COA for each lot; the table below identifies the material.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Packed in fiber drums, kraft paper bags and metal drums, matching the photos on the page. As a solid terpene oxide, it is kept sealed in a cool, dry place away from light, heat and moisture so the note and crystal form stay stable.
• Every lot is supplied with COA (including GC profile), TDS and SDS. For fragrance and flavor use, IFRA and destination flavor or cosmetic compliance information can be discussed against the order and market, without claiming a fixed certification.
• For a quote, UATChem needs the grade (fragrance or technical), quantity, packing and destination port.
