About This Product
Cardamom Oleoresin
Cardamom oleoresin is a premium concentrated extract of Kerala Bold Green cardamom pods — capturing the complete, complex aromatic profile of the world's finest cardamom: clean eucalyptus-cool freshness (1,8-cineole, 30%+), sweet spice warmth (terpinyl acetate, 40%+) and the layered aromatic complexity that makes cardamom one of the world's most valued flavours.
PAX Herbal uses 7mm+ Bold Green Kerala cardamom as feedstock — the highest quality commercial grade. The volatile oil content (30%+) is among the highest achievable from natural cardamom. GC/MS profiling confirms 1,8-cineole, terpinyl acetate, linalool and other key compounds per batch. The full oleoresin (volatile + fixed oil fraction) is available, as is the defatted volatile-oil-rich grade for applications requiring higher flavour concentration per gram.
