Clove bud oleoresin standardised for eugenol content — the natural antimicrobial and flavour active used in food processing, dental products, and pharmaceutical formulations.
Clove Bud Oleoresin is extracted from Syzygium aromaticum flower buds and standardised for eugenol — the primary bioactive responsible for clove's characteristic warm, numbing, strongly aromatic profile. Among the highest eugenol-content spice oleoresins available, it is widely used in food flavouring, dental care, pharmaceuticals, and personal care applications. SV Botanica supplies food-grade and high-eugenol pharmaceutical-grade clove oleoresin.
We supply Clove Bud Oleoresin in multiple standardisations to match your application requirements. Custom specifications available on request.
