FlavScents AInsights Entry: Violet Leaf Absolute Egypt (CAS: 8/6/24)

1. Identity & Chemical Information

Common Name(s): Violet Leaf Absolute Egypt
CAS Number: 8/6/24
FEMA Number: Not available
Other Identifiers: Not available
Material Type: Natural complex material (absolute)
Source: Derived from the leaves of the violet plant, typically Viola odorata
Description: Violet leaf absolute is a complex mixture of volatile compounds extracted from the leaves of the violet plant. It is known for its green, leafy, and slightly floral aroma.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; PubChem; FEMA

2. Sensory Profile

Violet leaf absolute is characterized by its distinctive green, leafy, and slightly floral aroma. It is often described as having a fresh, earthy scent with subtle floral undertones. The intensity of the odor is moderate, and it is known for its ability to add a natural, green note to fragrance compositions. The absolute is primarily used as a modifier or background realism note in both flavors and fragrances.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; peer-reviewed sensory literature

3. Natural Occurrence & Formation

Violet leaf absolute is naturally sourced from the leaves of the violet plant, primarily Viola odorata. The extraction process typically involves solvent extraction to obtain the absolute, which is a concentrated form of the plant's aromatic compounds. This material is considered a "natural fragrance" due to its derivation from plant sources.

4. Use in Flavors

Violet leaf absolute is used in flavor applications to impart a green, leafy note that enhances the freshness and complexity of the flavor profile. It is commonly used in herbal, floral, and green flavor categories. Typical use levels in finished food or beverage products range from 0.1 to 5 ppm, depending on the desired intensity and application. The absolute is relatively stable under normal flavor formulation conditions but may degrade under high heat or acidic conditions.

5. Use in Fragrances

In fragrances, violet leaf absolute is valued for its ability to add a fresh, green note that enhances the naturalness of the scent. It is commonly used in floral, green, and chypre fragrance families. The absolute serves as a modifier or impact note, contributing to the top and middle notes of a fragrance composition. Typical concentration ranges in perfumes are from 0.1% to 1%, depending on the desired effect and formulation.

7. Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations

Oral Exposure: No specific ADI or MSDI established; use in flavors should follow general safety guidelines.
Dermal Exposure: Generally considered safe for use in fragrances; potential for mild irritation or sensitization in sensitive individuals.
Inhalation Exposure: Low volatility reduces inhalation risk; occupational exposure should follow standard safety practices.

Citation hooks: EFSA; FEMA; PubChem; toxicology literature

8. Practical Insights for Formulators

Violet leaf absolute is prized for its ability to impart a natural, green note that enhances the freshness and complexity of both flavors and fragrances. It synergizes well with other floral and green notes, but care should be taken to avoid overuse, which can lead to an overpowering or harsh scent. Formulators should consider the variability in composition when sourcing this material.

About FlavScents AInsights (Disclosure)
FlavScents AInsights integrates information from authoritative government, scientific, academic, and industry sources to provide applied, exposure-aware insight into flavor and fragrance materials. Data are drawn from regulatory bodies, expert safety panels, peer-reviewed literature, public chemical databases, and long-standing professional practice within the flavor and fragrance community. Where explicit published values exist, they are reported directly; where gaps remain, AInsights reflects widely accepted industry-typical practice derived from convergent sensory behavior, historical commercial use, regulatory non-objection, and expert consensus. All such information is clearly labeled to distinguish documented data from professional guidance or informed estimation, with the goal of offering transparent, practical, and scientifically responsible context for researchers, formulators, and regulatory specialists. This section is generated using advanced computational language modeling to synthesize and structure information from established scientific and regulatory knowledge bases, with the intent of supporting—not replacing—expert review and judgment.
