Basil CO2 extract 1 kg

Industrial-Grade Basil CO2 Concentrate for Food and Fragrance Formulations

The 1 kg Basil CO2 extract belongs to the CO2 Extracts category, which brings together concentrates obtained through supercritical extraction without any solvents involved. This technology preserves the maximum amount of active plant compounds — volatile aromatic molecules, antioxidants, phenolic substances and natural preservative agents that are partially lost during conventional distillation or maceration. The 1 kg packaging is designed for manufacturing facilities in the food, fragrance, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors that require a steady supply of raw material with consistent characteristics for continuous production runs.

The strongest practical demand for basil CO2 extract comes from the food industry, where the concentrate serves as a natural flavoring agent and antioxidant in the production of sauces, canned goods, seasonings, snack products and beverages requiring a spicy, slightly peppery fresh herb aroma without synthetic additives. Because the active compounds are highly concentrated, dosages in food formulations are typically minimal — from 0.01 to 0.05 percent of the total product mass, keeping consumption per ton of finished goods low even at industrial output volumes. The second major sector is fragrance and aromatic manufacturing, where basil concentrate is used to build spicy, green and oriental compositions, typically added as a middle or top note at a dosage of 0.1 to 1 percent.

In the cosmetic industry, the extract is incorporated into serums, creams for oily and problem-prone skin, aftershave products and hair care formulations thanks to the plant's pronounced purifying and toning properties. The recommended dosage for finished cosmetic formulas ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 percent, and the component should ideally be added during the cooling phase of the emulsion at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius to preserve volatile fractions. The extract pairs well with other botanical CO2 concentrates — for instance, with Echinacea CO2 Extract (flowers), which reinforces protective and calming properties, and with antioxidant-rich ingredients such as Black Aronia CO2 Extract, relevant for anti-aging and firming product lines. For light hydrating formulas, an interesting complement is Kiwi CO2 Extract, adding a fresh fruity accent.

A separate area of application is pharmaceuticals and dietary supplement manufacturing, where the concentrate is used in encapsulated forms and herbal complexes thanks to its natural antimicrobial and toning qualities. In household chemical production the extract is occasionally included in formulations with a pronounced herbal scent, while candle manufacturers use it to create spicy aromatic blends in combination with essential oils.

When working with a 1 kg volume, proper storage conditions are essential: the container should remain tightly sealed and kept in a dark, cool place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, with an optimal storage temperature between 4 and 15 degrees Celsius. Under these conditions the concentrate remains stable for an extended period, making the large packaging economically reasonable for facilities with a regular production cycle and a consistent need for raw material with predictable technological parameters.
