FlavScents AInsights Entry for Brassica Campestris Extract (CAS: 90989-79-0)

1. Identity & Chemical Information

Common Name(s): Brassica campestris extract, Rapeseed extract
CAS Number: 90989-79-0
FEMA Number: Not applicable
Other Identifiers: Not applicable
Material Type: Natural complex material (extract)
Source: Derived from the seeds of Brassica campestris, commonly known as rapeseed.
Key Constituents: Includes fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and erucic acid. Composition varies by origin, harvest, and processing.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; PubChem; FEMA

2. Sensory Profile

Brassica campestris extract is primarily used for its mild, nutty aroma with a slight earthy undertone. It is not typically used for its flavor profile but can impart a subtle, oily taste when used in high concentrations. The extract is more commonly valued for its functional properties rather than its sensory impact.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; peer-reviewed sensory literature

3. Natural Occurrence & Formation

Brassica campestris is widely cultivated in temperate regions and is a significant source of vegetable oil. The extract is obtained through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction of the seeds. It is considered a natural flavoring agent due to its plant origin, aligning with "natural flavor" designations in many regulatory frameworks.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; food chemistry literature; EFSA/JECFA monographs

4. Use in Flavors

Brassica campestris extract is not a primary flavoring agent but is used in flavor systems to provide a base or carrier for other flavors. It is typically used in savory applications, such as dressings and sauces, at low concentrations (10-100 ppm) to avoid overpowering the intended flavor profile. The extract is stable under typical processing conditions but may oxidize if not properly stored.

5. Use in Fragrances

In fragrances, Brassica campestris extract is used as a base note, providing a subtle, earthy aroma that complements floral and woody notes. It is used in concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 1% in formulations, depending on the desired intensity. The extract's low volatility makes it suitable for long-lasting fragrance applications.

5a. Key Constituents (Typical)

Oleic Acid: Major constituent, contributing to the extract's oily texture.
Linoleic Acid: Provides nutritional benefits and stability.
Erucic Acid: Present in varying amounts, subject to regulatory limits due to health considerations.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; peer-reviewed literature; authoritative industry references

6. Regulatory Status (Regional Overview)

United States: Recognized as GRAS for use in food applications.
European Union: Approved under Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008; subject to specific purity criteria.
United Kingdom: Aligns with EU regulations post-Brexit.
Asia: Approved in Japan and China with specific use restrictions.
Latin America: Generally recognized but subject to local regulations.

Citation hooks: FEMA; EFSA; national authority publications

7. Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations

Oral Exposure: Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used within recommended limits. No specific ADI established.
Dermal Exposure: Low risk of irritation or sensitization; IFRA standards apply.
Inhalation Exposure: Minimal risk due to low volatility; occupational exposure limits not typically a concern.

Citation hooks: EFSA; FEMA; PubChem; toxicology literature

8. Practical Insights for Formulators

Brassica campestris extract is valued for its functional properties, such as acting as a carrier oil in flavor and fragrance formulations. It synergizes well with other natural extracts and essential oils. Formulators should be cautious of its potential to oxidize and ensure proper storage conditions. It is often under-utilized in fragrance applications due to its subtle aroma.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; industry practice

9. Confidence & Data Quality Notes

The data on Brassica campestris extract is well-established, particularly regarding its composition and regulatory status. However, sensory data is less documented, and formulators often rely on industry experience. Regulatory ambiguities exist concerning erucic acid content, necessitating careful sourcing and compliance checks.

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.
