Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Supercritical CO2 extraction from fennel seeds grown in England yields a solvent-free oily liquid with INCI Foeniculum vulgare fruit CO2 Extract. The 5 g pack supports initial formulation trials for supplement and food manufacturers. CO2 Extracts of this type maintain high levels of anethole and related aromatics due to low-temperature processing.
Integration parameters for industrial use
The extract is fat-soluble and added at 0.1-0.5 % of total batch weight during the final cooling stage below 45 °C. Larger volumes such as the Fennel CO2 Extract 100 g are ordered once pilot batches confirm the desired intensity. Shelf life extends to December 2028 when stored cool and dark in sealed containers. Production follows strict natural CO2 methods without chemical residues.
Role in dietary supplement and functional food blends
Manufacturers incorporate the material as a botanical raw ingredient in drink powders, confectionery fillings and capsule blends to deliver consistent anise-like notes. Private formulators and factories worldwide source both retail and wholesale quantities for product development. Botanical Extracts like this fennel version help balance flavour profiles in complex formulations.
Example supplement drink premix: maltodextrin 94.6 %, fennel CO2 extract 0.4 %, natural flavour carriers 5 %. Dry blend at ambient temperature and package immediately. This approach ensures even distribution and stable aroma release over shelf life.
Performance in cosmetic laboratory formulas
Labs add the extract to serums and body butters for aromatic depth. It integrates cleanly with other botanical concentrates and remains stable through typical emulsification cycles. Small pack sizes allow precise testing before committing to bulk procurement.
Handling and stability recommendations
Avoid prolonged exposure to light or elevated temperatures. Conduct small-scale compatibility tests before full-scale production to verify aroma release in the target matrix.
