AMYRIS OIL Usage And Synthesis

Description

Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil is the volatile oil distilled from the bark of the tree, Amyris balsamifera, Rutaceae

Chemical Properties

Amyris oil is obtained by steam distillation of the wood from the tree Amyrisbalsamifera L. (Rutaceae), which grows in the Caribbean (Haiti) area and aroundthe Gulf of Mexico. It is a pale yellow to amber, slightly viscous liquid with a mildwood odor.
d2020 0.946–0.978; n²⁰_D 1.505–1.510; [α]²⁰_D+10° to+60; solubility: 1 vol in 1 volof 90% ethanol at 20°C; solutions sometimes become opalescent on dilution; acidnumber: max. 3.0; ester number (after acetylation).

Chemical Properties

The volatile oil is obtained by the steam distillation from the wood of Amyris balsamifera L. The yield is approximately2.5 to 3.0%. Amyris oil has a wood-like odor reminiscent of sandalwood with a burning taste. It is used as a fixative in perfumeryand in flavors, such as Oriental specialties and liqueurs

Physical properties

It is a clear, pale-yellow liquid. It is soluble in most fixed oils and usually in mineral oil. It issoluble in an equal volume of propylene glycol, the solution often becoming opalescent on further dilution. It is practically insolublein glycerin.

Preparation

The oil is sometimes incorrectly called West Indian sandalwood oil. However,its composition and odor are different from those of the oils obtainedfrom sandalwood species. The major components of amyris oil are sesquiterpenoidssuch as elemol [639-99-6], ??-eudesmol [473-15-4], and epi-??-eudesmol[15051-81-7]. Annually～50 t are produced.
