| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Obtained by steam distillation of the leaves. The oil has a spicy odor. Two fractions, heavier and lighter than water
fractions, are formed during distillation, with a milky emulsion at the interface. The two fractions are combined at the end of the
distillation. Also see Pimenta (Allspice). | [Physical properties]
The oil is a pale-yellow to light brownish-yellow liquid. In contact with iron, it can acquire a
blue shade turning to dark-brown upon long contact. The oil is soluble in propylene glycol and most fixed oils (with opalescence). It
is relatively insoluble in mineral oil and glycerin. | [Occurrence]
Found in the leaves of the shrub Pimenta officinalis Lindl. (Fam. Myrtaceae). | [Preparation]
By steam distillation of the leaves of Pimenta officinalis Lindl. | [Essential oil composition]
Main constituents include eugenol (approximately 70%), caryophyllene, acids and aldehydes. |
