Chemical Properties
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.
