Oregano Oil

Oregano

B2B ingredient for professional formulation evaluation.

Product Description

Oregano oil is steam-distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of Origanum vulgare, a hardy perennial herb native to the Mediterranean. The oil is produced from carefully selected oregano grown under Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), harvested at full bloom when carvacrol levels peak, and immediately distilled to preserve the full spectrum of bioactive constituents. Fresure supplies oregano oil in bulk quantities with batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying carvacrol percentage, p-cymene ratio, and physical parameters — essential documentation for formulators in the animal feed, natural preservative, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Industry Applications

general

Animal Feed & Livestock

A leading natural antibiotic alternative in poultry, swine, and ruminant feed. Carvacrol-rich oregano oil improves gut health, inhibits pathogenic bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium), enhances feed conversion ratio, and reduces reliance on AGPs (antibiotic growth promoters). Used in premixes, drinking water additives, and feed formulations.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in tightly sealed, full containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Carvacrol-rich oils oxidize over time; minimize headspace to preserve phenolic content. Shelf life: 2-3 years under recommended conditions. Monitor carvacrol percentage and specific gravity at 6-month intervals for quality assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the shelf life of

Under recommended storage conditions — tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight — Oregano Oil remains stable for 2 to 3 years. Monitor for any changes in aroma, color, or viscosity before use in production batches.

How is Oregano Oil extracted?

Oregano Oil is steam distillation from the flowering tops and leaves of a plant in the Lamiaceae family.

What documentation do you provide with bulk orders?

Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the batch-specific chemical profile (GC/MS or GC-FID), physical parameters (specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation), and organoleptic assessment. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) is also provided. Additional documentation — including GC/MS chromatograms, pesticide residue analysis, heavy metal testing, and allergen statements — is available upon request.

What are the minimum order quantities (MOQ)?

Standard MOQ is 1 kg for most essential oils, with bulk pricing available at 5 kg, 25 kg, and 180 kg drum quantities. Contact our sales team for current pricing and availability for your required volume.

Do you offer samples for evaluation?

Yes. We provide complimentary 10–30 mL samples of most products for qualified B2B buyers to evaluate quality, aroma, and suitability before placing bulk orders. Sample requests are subject to availability and shipping costs may apply. Request a sample through our contact form.
