Additional data

  • Storage conditions: Store refrigerated (2–8 °C); keep away from intense light and high heat. Shake well before use.
  • Carrier: Lecithin (E322(i)) and water. The damask rose oil is emulsified in this lecithin / water base.
  • Packaging: 1–5 kg/bottle, 10–25–50 kg/drum.
  • Shelf life: 12 months (unopened, refrigerated)
  • Dosage and use: A water-dispersible form of Damask rose fragrance oil, emulsified in a lecithin / water base for direct incorporation into aqueous food and beverage systems without a pre-solubilization step. The Damask roses behind this fragrance are grown and hand-picked in Isparta, Türkiye, and extracted within hours of harvest. The olfactive arc opens fresh and dewy with green facets, fills out into a honeyed rose heart, and dries down waxy, floral and long. It is used in rose syrups and sherbets, milk puddings, Turkish delight, confectionery and beverage work. Methyleugenol is naturally present and is controlled to the limit shown above. Compositional figures in the Extract Specification and the chromatographic profile refer to the essential-oil fraction of the product, determined by GC-FID area normalisation; the carrier is stated separately above.
