Thymol Crystals (Natural)

Natural Thymol Crystals are solidified crystals primarily derived from the common thyme plant (Thymus vulgaris). This aromatic herb is a rich source of essential oils, and its oil includes the organic compound Thymol. While Tymus vulgaris is the primary source, Thymol can also be extracted from other plants like Ajwain (Indian Thyme).

The process of extracting and processing Natural Thymol Crystals involves:

• Steam Distillation: The thyme plant material is subjected to steam distillation, which separates its essential oil from the plant matter.
• Isolation: The resulting thyme oil, which contains thymol, is further processed to isolate the pure thymol compound.
• Crystallization: Through careful techniques like fractional distillation or crystallization, the isolated thymol is purified and solidified into the crystalline form we know as thymol crystals.

AROMA: Thymol Crystals have a strong, herbaceous, and spicy aroma and taste, with a slightly medicinal undertone.

USAGE:

Thymol Crystals is a versatile ingredient used in various applications such as aromatherapy, personal care products, home care products, food flavorings, and industrial applications.

• Benefits of Thymol Crystals for Product Formulators: A product formulator might choose Thymol Crystals over Thyme Oil for the following benefits:
  • Precise Dosing and Formulation: Thymol Crystals allow for precise, consistent dosing in the formulation of products. Furthermore, by adjusting the concentration of thymol crystals, formulators can tailor the product's benefits to specific target markets and consumer needs.
  • Consistency: Whereas essential oils may fluctuate in their Thymol content depending upon growth and harvest conditions, Thymol Crystals allow for consistent aroma and flavor in product formulations.
