Eugenol - eugenol

One of the essential oil components contained in clove oil and cinnamon oil. A pale yellow liquid with a strong spicy scent. Clove oil and cinnamon leaf oil are extracted with a 3-5% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, neutralized, and the separated oil is then rectified. It can also be synthesized using guaiacol as a raw material.

Eugenol is widely used in carnation-based compound flavorings, and is also used as a food flavoring in meats, sausages, and sauces. It is also the raw material for the synthesis of vanillin, which is an important flavoring agent.
