Cloves (Laung): Essential Oil, Head Ratio & Quality

Aroma from Eugenol

Cloves owe their warmth to eugenol-rich essential oil. Hand-picked, well-dried cloves with a high proportion of intact heads indicate premium quality.

Quality Parameters

Buyers specify volatile oil content (15%+), head ratio, moisture and the absence of khoker (stems) and mother cloves. These drive both aroma and extraction yield.

Applications

Whole cloves serve culinary, hospitality and extraction buyers; the oil is valued in flavour, fragrance and pharma applications.

Packing & MOQ

Laminated or PP bags; MOQ from 2 MT.
