Ambrette seed oil Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Volatile oil from seeds of Abelmoschus moschatus Moench, syn. Hibiscus Abelmoschus L. (Fam. Malvaceae). Amber liquid; odor of ambrettolide. Sol in fixed oils; insol in glycerin, propylene glycol.

Chemical Properties

Ambrette seed oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried, crushed seedsofAbelmoschusmoschatusMedik. (Hibiscus abelmoschus L.,Malvaceae), a floweringshrub growing in tropical areas.Due to its content of long-chain fatty acids, thecrude product is a waxymass and, therefore, also called Ambrette beurre. Removalof the fatty acids with alkali gives a clear yellow to amber liquid with the strong,musky odor of ambrettolide.
