Material Detail

Dihydroeugenol is a natural aromatic compound derived from eugenol, commonly used in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries. It is a phenolic compound characterized by a spicy-sweet, clove-like aroma with a creamy, slightly woody undertone. Its reduced reactivity compared to eugenol makes it valuable for formulations where stability is a concern.

This compound is often utilized in perfumes, soaps, and flavoring agents, adding depth to spicy, vanilla, and oriental profiles. Dihydroeugenol is also found in essential oil derivatives, including clove oil and nutmeg oil, which are widely produced in Indonesia—one of the world's leading sources of raw materials for essential oil production.
