GUM GUAIAC Usage And Synthesis
| Description | Bulnesia sarmienti Lor. is a wild tree 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft.) high,widespread in the woods of Argentina and in the Gran Chaco areaof Paraguay. This variety yields the true guaiac, Guaiacum officinaleL., also a tree native to tropical America (Caribbean Islands),grows wild or cultivated in Venezuela, Jamaica, Cuba, and Colombia.This variety yields a resinous substance from which a tinctureis prepared. The wood and sawdust from the tree are the partsused. Guaiac has a soft, pleasant, rose-like odor reminiscent of tearoses.
The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of chipped woodof B. sormienti in approximately 3% yields. It is a thick, viscous,orange-brown mass with a woody, rose-like odor reminiscent oftea rose. Sometimes the oil exhibits a smoky note. The mainconstituent of the oil, also known as champaca wood oil, is guaiol,a sesquiterpene alcohol (85%).
The derivatives are fluid extract, tincture (mainly from G. officinaleL.). The tincture is generally a 10% solution in 60% ethanol. Thefluid extract is a reddish-brown liquid with a pleasant odor andburning, bitter taste. |
