Turmeric CO2-to extract, organic

Turmeric CO₂-to extract BIO is a lipophilic plant extract from dried organic turmeric rhizomes ( Curcuma longa ). Unlike commonly known curcumin extracts, this product is not primarily focused on the content of yellow curcuminoids. Supercritical CO₂ extraction specifically captures mainly the essential oil fraction of turmeric , i.e. the aromatic sesquiterpenes typical of the turmeric rhizome. The main part of the extract is a mixture of alpha-turmerone, beta-turmerone and ar-turmerone , complemented by other naturally occurring aromatic components such as alpha-phellandrene, zingiberene and sesquiphellandrene. Curcumin is present in this type of CO₂ extract only in trace amounts, therefore its properties differ significantly from classical curcumin extracts. The result is a yellow-orange liquid oil with a characteristic warm, spicy and earthy turmeric scent. The extract is particularly suitable for oil-based formulations, balms, massage blends, foot care products, perfume compositions and cosmetics that work with natural aromatic components. Why this extract is interesting Turmerone profile: the extract is rich in aromatic turmeric sesquiterpenes, especially alpha-, beta- and ar-turmerone. Characteristic turmeric scent: gives formulations a warm, spicy, earthy to oriental note. Interesting for foot care: the essential oil fraction of turmeric is suitable for products that work with a hygienic, deodorizing and microbially balanced character of the formulation. Concentrated plant extract: approximately 10–20 kg of dried turmeric rhizomes are used to produce 1 kg of extract.
