Product Overview

Nutmeg CO2 Extract—produced via low-temperature, solvent-free supercritical carbon dioxide ($\text{scCO}_2$) extraction from premium dried Myristica fragrans (Jaiphal) kernels—captures the truest, full-bodied olfactory and flavor profile of freshly grated nutmeg without thermal degradation or steam-distillation artifacts. Richer, creamier, and far more tenacious than conventional steam-distilled nutmeg essential oil, it unites sparkling peppery-terpenic top notes (sabinene, alpha- & beta-pinene, terpinen-4-ol) with higher concentrations of warm, velvety phenylpropanoids (myristicin, elemicin) and natural spice lipids (trimyristin in CO2 Total). Indispensable in haute perfumery, traditional Indian attars, gourmet culinary flavorings, and luxury warming body care, it offers extraordinary depth, authenticity, and natural antioxidant stability.
