Description

Turmerone is a key bioactive sesquiterpenoid compound primarily isolated from turmeric (*Curcuma longa*). This compound is valued for its distinct aromatic profile and its role as a marker of quality and authenticity in turmeric-derived products. It serves as a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking natural, plant-based actives.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used as a key aromatic component to impart warm, spicy, and woody notes in perfumes, colognes, and sophisticated scent formulations.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into turmeric extracts and formulations targeting wellness, where it contributes to the characteristic profile and potential synergistic effects.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Employed in skincare products such as creams, serums, and lotions for its natural origin and potential skin-conditioning properties.
• Aromatherapy & Essential Oils: Used as a valuable constituent in therapeutic essential oil blends for its grounding and distinctive aroma.
• Food & Beverage Enhancement: Acts as a natural flavoring agent in specialty food products and beverages requiring authentic turmeric character.
• Research & Development: Serves as a high-purity reference standard and intermediate for pharmaceutical and biological research into natural products.

Quality Control

Our Turmerone is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each lot, detailing key parameters such as assay, isomer profile, and impurity limits. Our quality commitment aligns with standards relevant to the nutraceutical and flavor industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain optimal stability and prevent degradation.
