Mayol AB-12: The First Ever Odorless & Neutral Base Oil
Mayol AB-12 is a first-of-its-kind, innovative liquid ester designed as an odorless and neutral-tasting base oil for attar, flavor, and fragrance manufacturing. It is FSSAI-approved and has been certified for oral consumption by the Indian Drugs Research Association & Laboratory. It provides a safe and superior alternative to harmful bases like DOP, ensuring stability, purity, and better absorption for manufacturers.
Key Features:
✅ Food-Grade & Safe: Mayol AB-12 is a food-grade, FSSAI-approved ester, making it an ideal and legal alternative to DOP, which is banned for oral use.
✅ Odorless & Neutral Taste: Unlike DOP or paraffin, it does not impart any fragrance or taste, allowing pure retention of the intended floral extract or flavor.
✅ Highly Stable & Versatile: It has a high boiling point (>190°C), does not attract water, and improves the shelf life of attars, fragrances, and flavors.
✅ Efficient in Attar Manufacturing: Compared to DOP, it enhances absorption and retention of floral extracts, requires fewer washes (Pichadi & Agadi), and ensures superior quality production.
✅ Superior Performance in Fragrances: Miscible with fragrance compounds and crystals, it ensures long-lasting aroma stability and better retention capacity.
✅ Enhances Flavor Manufacturing: Mayol AB-12 improves mouthfeel, helps in extending flavors, and does not attract water, ensuring longer product shelf life.
Why Mayol AB-12 is Better Than DOP?
🚫 DOP is legally restricted – It is a banned substance for oral consumption, making its use in food and fragrance industries legally risky.
🚫 DOP is used in the tobacco industry – Originally formulated for industrial use, DOP is not intended for safe application in attars, flavors, or fragrances.
🚫 DOP imparts an unwanted odor & taste – It alters the intended fragrance or flavor profile, requiring multiple washes (Pichadi & Agadi) to neutralize.
🚫 DOP attracts moisture – This leads to faster degradation of attars and fragrances, reducing their shelf life.
🚫 DOP can cause bitterness in flavors – It interferes with taste, making it unsuitable for high-quality food-grade applications.

An ideal base oil for attars, replacing DOP, which is used in the tobacco industry and banned for oral consumption.
Ensures better absorption and retention of floral extracts.
Does not impart its own fragrance, allowing the true aroma of flowers to shine.
Requires fewer washes, reducing material loss and processing time.
🔹 Fragrance Compounds:
Miscible with other fragrance compounds & crystals, ensuring superior blend quality.
Does not interfere with aroma molecules, allowing delicate fragrances to be preserved.
High boiling point (>190°C), ensuring longer-lasting scent retention.
Does not attract water, improving shelf life and stability of the final product.
🔹 Flavor Manufacturing:
FSSAI-approved for oral use & consumption.
Neutral in taste, unlike PG, DPG & other solvents, allowing delicate flavors to spread in the mouth.
Improves shelf life as it does not attract water like PG or DPG.
Works as an extender, enhancing mouthfeel and the fullness of flavors.
