Onion Oil FCC

NATURAL FCC GRADE ONION OIL

Onion Oil FCC is 100% natural onion essential oil obtained exclusively through steam distillation that meets Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) quality specifications for purity, identity, and composition. Meeting internationally recognized FCC standards ensures consistent quality, regulatory compliance, and simplified documentation across global markets. This natural onion oil captures the intense sulfurous, cooked onion character of steam distilled allium while providing customers with third party validated specifications recognized by regulatory agencies worldwide. For applications requiring both natural ingredient status and adherence to rigorous quality standards, Onion Oil FCC delivers the authenticity of natural onion essential oil with the specification certainty demanded by global food manufacturers.

Product Characteristics
Onion Oil FCC is produced exclusively through natural steam distillation of onion material, concentrating the volatile sulfur compounds that define cooked onion aroma. The oil meets Food Chemicals Codex monograph specifications for identity, purity, and composition, providing standardized quality benchmarks while maintaining 100% natural status. The result is a dark yellow to brownish yellow liquid with intensely pungent, sulfurous, cooked onion character. The aromatic profile features fried onion, sulfury, and caramelized notes characteristic of naturally steam distilled allium oils. This combination of natural extraction and FCC specification compliance makes it ideal for customers requiring both clean label credentials and rigorous quality documentation.

Technical Specifications
Onion Oil FCC is produced to meet Food Chemicals Codex specifications. Certificate of Analysis provided with each batch documenting FCC compliance including specific gravity and refractive index. Compatible with spray drying onto maltodextrin or other carriers. The oil is fat soluble and requires proper dispersion in aqueous systems through emulsification or carrier systems. Meets international food safety standards with full traceability from field to finished product.

Advantages vs. Alternatives
vs. Non FCC Natural Onion Oil: Provides FCC specification documentation for regional compliance.
vs. Synthetic Onion Oil: 100% natural status, richer aromatic complexity, clean label positioning.

Natural Essential Oil with Specification Certainty
Onion Oil FCC bridges the gap between customers requiring natural ingredients for clean label positioning and those demanding rigorous specification documentation for quality assurance and regulatory compliance. Unlike commodity natural oils sold on descriptive specifications alone, FCC grade provides measurable, reproducible quality parameters validated against internationally recognized standards. This makes supplier qualification faster, reduces batch to batch variation concerns, and provides clear acceptance criteria for incoming ingredient inspection.

Formulation Guidance
Due to extreme concentration, Onion Oil FCC requires careful handling and precise dosing. Typical inclusion rates range from 0.01 to 0.1% (100 to 1000 ppm) depending on application and desired intensity. Always start with lower dosage and increase gradually as over application creates unpleasant, overpowering sulfurous notes. The oil should be pre diluted in carrier oil or properly emulsified for aqueous applications to ensure even distribution. For spray dried applications, typical ratios are 5 to 20% essential oil on carrier depending on target flavor strength. Our applications team provides detailed formulation protocols and dosing calculations.

Handling Precautions
As a concentrated natural essential oil containing sulfur compounds, this product requires appropriate handling protocols. Use in well ventilated areas as vapors can be irritating to eyes and respiratory system. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during handling. Avoid direct skin contact with undiluted oil. Store in tightly sealed containers away from heat and light. Due to high concentration, ensure accurate measuring equipment capable of precise small volume dosing. Train production staff on proper essential oil handling before introducing into manufacturing environment.

Storage and Handling
Store in cool, dark conditions in tightly sealed containers. Essential oils are sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen exposure. Once opened, minimize headspace and reseal immediately. Product is stable under proper storage but quality degrades with repeated exposure to air and light. Compatible with stainless steel and glass containers; avoid prolonged contact with certain plastics that may be affected by essential oil solvency. Standard essential oil handling protocols apply.
