High Content Carvacrol Feed Additive Natural Antibacterial Improve Intestinal Health for Poultry Livestock Aquatic
Introduction Of Carvacrol
Carvacrol (CAS: 499-75-2), chemically known as 5-isopropyl-2-methylphenol, is a highly active natural phenolic ingredient obtained through extraction from oregano or thyme essential oils or via refined synthesis. At room temperature, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a rich, herbal, and spicy aroma. It is lighter than water, insoluble in cold water, and exhibits good heat stability, though it is prone to oxidation and discoloration upon exposure to strong light or air. It possesses excellent antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, demonstrating superior antimicrobial efficacy compared to eugenol.
Our facility specializes in high-purity carvacrol (98%–99.5% content), characterized by stable quality, the absence of residues, and a low risk of inducing drug resistance. It is widely used in food preservation, antimicrobial feed additives, fragrances for daily chemicals, agricultural crop protection, and biomedicine. It is frequently compounded with cinnamaldehyde or thymol to achieve significant synergistic effects.
