Description

Our organic juniper needle hydrolate for foods originates from the plant with the botanical name Juniperus communis. The liquid bears the name Juniper Needle organic hydrolate for food. Botanical systematics assigns the species to the Cupressaceae family. The needles remain the only starting material, and their needle-like form accompanies the plant to the end and is arranged densely in whorls along the twigs. The trees are cultivated in Bulgaria according to organic rules, without mineral fertilizers and synthetic agents. The purity of the scent goes hand in hand with steam distillation, as solvents are kept out and the volatile fraction is due solely to the needles of the plant. The oxygenated volatile compounds pass into the aqueous phase, and they determine the aromatic direction. The aroma maintains a medium intensity throughout the profile. The freshness and pine character receive resinous support in the overall scent of the distillate. Among the volatile substances of the needles, monoterpene hydrocarbons take first place, with pinene and sabinene leading among them. The product is a clear liquid with a color between colorless and pale yellow. The stomatal band bears a grayish waxy bloom on the upper surface of each needle. The needle raw material determines the faint color, since the water carries out mainly colorless volatile substances, while the pigments remain in the needles of the plant themselves. The composition is entirely organic and remains free of preservatives and colorants. In addition, the organic cultivation regime and the raw material limited to the needles lead to a simple composition of plant volatile substances and water. The clear liquid, the faint color and the medium level of the aroma describe the character of the juniper hydrolate.
