LAUREL LEAF OIL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Bay oil/Bay rum oil is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of Pimentaracemosa (Mill.) J.W. Moore (Myrtaceae). It is a dark brown liquid with a strong,spicy, clove-like odor.

Evergreen bay trees or bay-rum trees, which are up to 12m high, grow wildand are also cultivated in northern South America and in the West Indies. Themain cultivation area is the island of Dominica where with ～20 t/yr, 85% of theworldwide demand are produced.
Themajor components of the oil aremyrcene (20–30%), eugenol (42–56%), andchavicol (8–13%).The phenol content is determined largely by the lasttwo compounds.
Bay oil has antiseptic properties because of its high phenol content and is, therefore,a classical ingredient for perfuming after-shave lotions.
