FlavScents AInsights Entry: Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract (CAS: 183815-52-3)

1. Identity & Chemical Information

Tasmannia lanceolata, commonly known as Tasmanian pepper or mountain pepper, is a natural complex material derived from the fruit and leaves of the Tasmannia lanceolata plant. This extract is not a single chemical compound but a mixture of various constituents. The CAS number for this extract is 183815-52-3. It does not have a specific FEMA number or other identifiers like FL or CoE numbers due to its complex nature. The composition of this extract can vary significantly depending on the geographical origin, harvest time, and processing methods.

2. Sensory Profile

The sensory profile of Tasmannia lanceolata extract is characterized by a spicy, peppery aroma with hints of cinnamon and clove. It has a strong, pungent flavor that can be described as hot and biting, similar to black pepper but with a unique herbal undertone. The intensity of the aroma and flavor can vary, but it is typically used as an impact note in formulations. The taste threshold is not well-documented, but it is known for its potent sensory impact even at low concentrations.

3. Natural Occurrence & Formation

Tasmannia lanceolata is native to the woodlands and cool temperate rainforests of southeastern Australia, including Tasmania. The extract is obtained from the berries and leaves of the plant. The formation of its characteristic compounds is primarily through natural biosynthesis within the plant, influenced by environmental factors. This extract is often used in products labeled as "natural flavor" or "natural fragrance" due to its botanical origin.

4. Use in Flavors

In flavor applications, Tasmannia lanceolata extract is used in savory products, sauces, and spice blends. It serves as a functional ingredient providing a spicy, peppery note. Typical use levels in food range from 10 to 100 ppm, depending on the desired intensity and the type of product. It is generally stable under heat and acidic conditions but may degrade under prolonged exposure to light and oxygen.

5. Use in Fragrances

Tasmannia lanceolata extract is used in fragrance formulations for its spicy and warm aroma. It is commonly found in oriental and woody fragrance families, adding depth and complexity as a middle note. Typical concentration ranges in perfumes are from 0.1% to 1%, depending on the desired effect. The extract contributes to the volatility profile by providing a lingering spicy note.

5a. Key Constituents (Typical)

The key constituents of Tasmannia lanceolata extract include polygodial, eugenol, and various sesquiterpenes. Polygodial is primarily responsible for the pungent, peppery flavor, while eugenol contributes to the clove-like aroma. The composition can vary significantly based on factors such as origin and processing.

6. Regulatory Status (Regional Overview)

In the United States, Tasmannia lanceolata extract is not specifically listed by the FDA or FEMA but is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. In the European Union, it falls under the general flavoring regulations (Reg. (EC) No 1334/2008) but does not have a specific FL number. The regulatory status in the UK aligns with the EU post-Brexit. In Asia, particularly Japan and China, it is used in traditional applications but lacks specific regulatory recognition. In Latin America, its use is less documented, with Brazil and MERCOSUR countries having varying levels of acceptance.

7. Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations

For oral exposure, Tasmannia lanceolata extract is considered safe at typical flavor use levels, with no specific ADI or MSDI established. Dermal exposure in fragrance applications is generally safe, but potential for irritation or sensitization exists, particularly due to eugenol content. Inhalation exposure is minimal due to low volatility, but occupational exposure should be managed with standard precautions. The risk profiles for food and fragrance applications are similar, with no significant differences noted.

8. Practical Insights for Formulators

Tasmannia lanceolata extract is valued for its unique spicy and peppery profile, which can enhance savory and oriental formulations. It synergizes well with other spices and woody notes. Formulators should be cautious of its potent impact, as it can easily overpower other ingredients. It is often under-used in complex blends where its unique profile can add depth and interest.

9. Confidence & Data Quality Notes

The data on Tasmannia lanceolata extract is well-established in terms of sensory characteristics and typical uses. However, there are gaps in specific regulatory approvals and detailed toxicological data. Industry practices often rely on traditional uses and empirical knowledge rather than documented studies.

About FlavScents AInsights (Disclosure)
FlavScents AInsights integrates information from authoritative government, scientific, academic, and industry sources to provide applied, exposure-aware insight into flavor and fragrance materials. Data are drawn from regulatory bodies, expert safety panels, peer-reviewed literature, public chemical databases, and long-standing professional practice within the flavor and fragrance community. Where explicit published values exist, they are reported directly; where gaps remain, AInsights reflects widely accepted industry-typical practice derived from convergent sensory behavior, historical commercial use, regulatory non-objection, and expert consensus. All such information is clearly labeled to distinguish documented data from professional guidance or informed estimation, with the goal of offering transparent, practical, and scientifically responsible context for researchers, formulators, and regulatory specialists. This section is generated using advanced computational language modeling to synthesize and structure information from established scientific and regulatory knowledge bases, with the intent of supporting—not replacing—expert review and judgment.
