Clove bud oleoresin is a commercial name for various extracts of clove buds. The direct extraction product from the
buds with boiling ethyl alcohol is quite common. Its odor is often perceptibly affected by the presence of small amounts of solvent
(ethyl alcohol). Upon aging, the oleoresins develop a wine-like note, but the overall fragrance is very typical of the spice itself. The
alcohol-extracted oleoresin generally makes for a more powerful perfume and flavor material than any of the other types of extract.
Also see Clove.
Clove bud extract is obtained by solvent extraction of clove buds. The odor of the clove bud extract is oily-sweet,
intensely rich and spicy, slightly sour-fruity and refreshing. The odor is very closely reminiscent of dry clove buds.
The clove bud extract is a semisolid mass or viscous liquid of dark-brown or pale olive-green
color.
It is a viscous, brown liquid, occasionally separating waxy particles on standing.
Extractives and their physically modified derivatives such as tinctures, concretes, absolutes, essential oils, oleoresins, terpenes, terpene-free fractions, distillates, residues, etc., obtained from Eugenia caryophyllata, Myrtaceae.
