About
Water-Dispersible Juniper Berry Food Fragrance is juniper berry essential oil from dried Juniperus communis berries of Turkish origin, emulsified in a lecithin and water base. The milky-white to pale-yellow oil-in-water emulsion goes straight into tonics, bitters and spirit bases with no pre-solubilisation step.
Functional Properties
The odour is fresh, resinous and woody over a green-herbaceous body. The monoterpene fraction carries the characteristic resinous lift: α-pinene at 40–55 % and β-myrcene at 30–40 % together define the profile, with limonene at 2–5 % and (E)-caryophyllene at >1.0 % adding a faint citrus and spicy tail.
Quality
By GC-FID area normalisation the specified constituents of the essential-oil fraction total >85 % and identified compounds >95 %. Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are below the detection limit, and microbiology complies. Disperses in water and mixes with ethanol; shelf life 12 months unopened at 2–8 °C — shake well before use.
Applications
- Drinks: tonics, bitters, vermouth and spirit bases
- Savoury: marinades and game seasoning
- Dosing: use sparingly in flavour applications; not recommended for use during pregnancy
