Hazelnut CO2-se Extract

CO2-se hazelnut extract , organic, is a selective CO₂ extract from roasted kernels of Corylus avellana , obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction . The designation CO₂-se stands for selective extract , i.e. a selective extract that contains mainly more volatile aromatic substances and a portion of the oil fraction . Compared with CO₂-to extracts, this is not a complete extract with the full spectrum of heavier constituents, waxes and resins, but a milder type of extract, in its nature closer to an aromatic fragrance component. During production, flavour and fragrance components are extracted from finely chopped and freshly roasted hazelnuts together with part of the oil, while the final product contains no solvent residues , no inorganic salts and no reproducible micro-organisms. The extract has the form of a clear yellow liquid oil with a pronounced, naturally nutty-aromatic odour typical of roasted hazelnuts. In cosmetics, this extract is used primarily as a natural aromatic and conditioning ingredient in oil serums, balms, massage blends, perfume compositions and nourishing skin-care products. Thanks to its characteristic odour profile, it is suitable as an odourising component in fragrance and body formulations, while at the same time providing a lipid contribution to oil-based and anhydrous systems. Since it is an extract from roasted nuts, it is particularly suitable for products where a warm gourmand scent , a natural botanical origin and an interesting sensory profile are desired.
