Cumin Oil (Jintan)
Minyak Jintan — Cuminum cyminum
Cumin oil processed through Indonesian distilleries offers consistent cuminaldehyde content essential for oriental fragrance accords and Middle Eastern food flavoring. Indonesia's established distillation infrastructure and Halal processing standards make it a preferred processing hub for cumin oil supplied to GCC and Asian markets.
Origin:Java (distilled), North Africa/India seed origin
Aroma:Strong, warm, earthy with a distinctly sharp, slightly fatty-aldehydic cumin character. The cuminaldehyde dominant profile creates a persistent, powerful note — used in tiny concentrations even in fine fragrance. Very tenacious base note with a spicy herbal drydown.
Form:Pale yellow to amber-yellow, mobile liquid
Applications
Fine Fragrance (oriental/masculine)Food Flavoring (Middle Eastern/South Asian)PharmaceuticalCosmetics
