Buy Eugenol Liquid CAS 97-53-4 — Pharmaceutical & Fragrance Grade
Eugenol is a naturally occurring phenylpropanoid aromatic compound and one of the most important and historically significant aroma chemicals in global commerce. Found in high concentrations in clove bud oil (72-90%), clove leaf oil, cinnamon leaf oil, basil, and nutmeg, Eugenol has been used in dentistry, perfumery, food flavouring, and pharmaceutical synthesis for centuries. Today it remains one of the most versatile and commercially important specialty chemicals in international trade, valued simultaneously across dental medicine, fine fragrance, food flavouring, cosmetic formulation, and pharmaceutical intermediate markets. What makes Eugenol uniquely valuable is its combination of powerful sensory character — a warm, spicy, distinctive clove aroma — with significant pharmacological activity including local anaesthetic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that have been extensively documented in peer-reviewed literature. This combination of olfactory and biological activity across multiple high-value market sectors makes Eugenol one of the most strategically important aroma chemicals in industrial chemical supply.

Dental and Oral Care Eugenol is the most important active ingredient in dental medicine, used extensively in dental cements, impression materials, temporary filling materials, root canal sealers, periodontal dressings, and dry socket treatment formulations. Its local anaesthetic properties provide effective pain relief in dental procedures, while its antimicrobial activity inhibits bacterial growth in dental applications. Zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) cement — formed by mixing eugenol with zinc oxide powder — is one of the most widely used dental materials in the world and is found in dental clinics globally. This dental market represents one of the largest and most consistent demand drivers for pharmaceutical-grade Eugenol. 2. Fine Fragrance and Perfumery Eugenol is a classic and irreplaceable material in fine fragrance, contributing its warm, spicy, clove character to oriental, floral-spicy, chypre, and woody fragrance compositions. It is a key component of carnation accords, spice accords, and oriental base materials, and blends beautifully with isoeugenol, cinnamic alcohol, geraniol, rose materials, musks, and woody base notes. Its powerful odour intensity means it is used at relatively low concentrations — typically 0.1-2.0% — where it contributes significant character to the overall composition. Eugenol also serves as a chemical precursor for isoeugenol, another important fragrance material. 3. Food and Beverage Flavouring Eugenol is approved as a food flavouring agent under FEMA GRAS status (FEMA 2467) and is used in food and beverage products to contribute spicy, clove-like flavour notes. Applications include spice flavouring in confectionery, bakery products, beverages, meat products, sauces, and condiments. It is a key component of artificial clove, allspice, and mixed spice flavour compositions used in the food manufacturing industry. 4. Pharmaceutical Synthesis Eugenol serves as an important starting material and chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis. Its phenylpropanoid structure and allyl-methoxyphenol functionality provide a versatile platform for chemical transformations leading to bioactive pharmaceutical compounds. Key synthesis applications include production of isoeugenol (via isomerisation), vanillin (via oxidation), and a range of pharmacologically active derivatives investigated for antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical applications. 5. Cosmetic Formulation Eugenol is used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetic and personal care formulations including skincare, haircare, body care, and specialty grooming products. Its warm spicy clove character adds distinctive depth and masculinity to fragrance compositions in aftershaves, beard care products, and oriental-inspired personal care formulations. Note: Eugenol is listed as a fragrance allergen under EU Cosmetics Regulation at concentrations above 0.01% in leave-on products and 0.1% in rinse-off products — labelling requirements apply in EU markets. 6. Antimicrobial and Preservative Applications Eugenol's broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity — documented against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts including Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus, and Candida species — makes it a candidate for natural preservative and antimicrobial formulation applications. Research interest in Eugenol as a natural alternative to synthetic preservatives in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations continues to grow, driven by clean label and natural product trends. 7. Agricultural and Pest Control Eugenol has demonstrated insecticidal and repellent activity against a range of agricultural pest insects and is used as an active ingredient in natural insecticide and pest deterrent formulations. Its natural origin and biodegradability make it attractive in organic and reduced-chemical agriculture applications.
