Cloves Industrial Uses
There is probably a roughly even split between its quantitative use in these two industries.
The demand for cloves in this sector increased substantially after the Second World War,You are not allowed to view links.

The clove spice is rarely used with more often being blended with other spices to form a base for sauce and pickle formulae. Thus the clove flavour cannot be said to be becoming more popular per se, and any future rises in industrial demand are likely to occur only as a result of an increase in end-product sales.
The recent substantial price rises have not had as great an effect as might have been expected, but although this may be because many firms are carrying on with their accustomed formulations in the hope that prices may revert to near- normal levels, there is already evidence that some firms have been quick either to substitute for the clove spice in their formulations or simply to omit it altogether.
The situation worsened, supplies from Zanzibar becoming more and more intermittent, and prices continued to increase to around 6.15 per kilogramme. Prices in 1974 were a little below this peak and were in the region of 5.90 to 6 per kilogramme.
Whereas in the UK the demand for bud oil is met principally, although not exclusively,You are not allowed to view links.

The nature of the UK market is such that the few firms using bud oil require a product of such high quality that they are prepared to pay a very considerable premium - often 50-200 per cent - for an importer-distilled oil.
The uses of the bud oil are numerous, both in the flavour and perfumery industries, and this used also to be the case in the pharmaceutical industry although price considerations have now caused users to turn either to clove leaf oil or else to synthetic eugenol. In the perfumery industry clove bud oil is used to provide a basic 'sweet-spicy' or `carnation' effect in a variety of preparations including `men's line' fragrances; in the flavouring industry clove bud oil is often used as an ingredient in meat products,You are not allowed to view links.
