Birch Oil Usage And Synthesis
| Description | Betula Alba Oil is the volatile oil obtained from the Birch, Betula alba L., Betulaceae |
| Chemical Properties | The essential oil is obtained from the B. alba and B. pendula Roth. |
| Physical properties | The essential oil of B. alba L. is a viscous, yellow liquid with a balsamic odor. It is obtainedfrom buds by steam distillation in 3.5 to 8% yields. The oil solidifies at low temperature because of its paraffin content. The essentialoil of B. alba L. var. pubescens Ehrl., obtained from buds in 3.5% yields by steam distillation, has a specific gravity of 0.9779. Theessential oil of B. alba I. obtained from bark is recovered in 0.4 to 0.5% yields. The essential oil obtained from leaves is recoveredin 0.4 to 0.5% yields. |
| Occurrence | Found in the tar of the bark and wood of Betula pendula Roth (fam. Betulaceae). |
| Preparation | By steam-distillation of the tar obtained by dry distillation of the bark and the wood of Betula pendula Roth (fam. Betulaceae). |
| Definition | Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Betula alba, Betula pendula and Betula pubescens, Betulaceae. |
| Safety Profile | A skin irritant. Moderatelyirritating to eyes and mucous membranes. A mild allergen.Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can reactwith oxidizing materials. |
