What Is Caryophyllene Oxide (CAS 1139-30-6)?
Caryophyllene Oxide is supplied under CAS number 1139-30-6 and carries FEMA number 4085. Its systematic name is (-)-Caryophyllene oxide (1,2-epoxy-caryophyllene).
Terpenes and aroma chemicals give flavor and fragrance formulators precise, reproducible building blocks. These molecules deliver the dry, woody, resinous and citrusy notes that define fine perfumery and premium food systems, at dosages measured in parts per million.
At the organoleptic level, Caryophyllene Oxide is valued for a Dry note. It is chosen in commercial flavor systems for high-impact character at very low dosage levels.
