How we scored it
CosIng describes an aqueous apple steam distillate (water plus trace volatiles); the supplied formula/IUPAC (C59H102O4, a bicyclic terpene ester) does not match this description and is disregarded per instructions. Water/plant-volatile basis = 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
By-product hydrosol from steam-distilling apple fruit for aroma. The attached formula/IUPAC data appear to reference a different terpenoid compound and were not used for this scoring.
In plain English
A fruit water made by steam-distilling apples, used as a light fragrance ingredient. Flagged only because the database formula on file looks mismatched with this ingredient.
CosIng definition: Pyrus Malus Fruit Water is an aqueous solution of the steam distillate obtained from the fruit of the Apple, Pyrus malus L., Rosaceae
