Litsea cubeba oil Usage And Synthesis
| Uses | Litsea cubeba oil can be used not only as a spice but also in various aspects of daily life. Research indicates that it can be used to control stored grain pests, food pests, sanitary pests, and to kill bacteria, prevent mold, and control crop diseases. |

| Chemical Properties | Litsea cubeba is a member of the Lauraceae family, which includes the Cinnamomum species and Laurus nobilus orsweet bay. Parts of L. cubeba used include the pepper-like fruits (berries), bark and leaves. Litsea is grown in Tiawan, Japan andIndia, but primarily in China, which is also the primary market. The berry yields about 3.2% oil on distillation and has a distinctlemon character odor due to the presence of citral (geranial [41%] and neral [34%]), but may be much modified as the result of thepresence of other substances. Litsea cubeba oil is often used as the basis for fine lemon flavors. |
| Definition | Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Litsea cubeba, Lauraceae. |
| Composition | Major constituents of the stem oil are citronellol (11.9 to 20.4%) and citronellal (7.7 to 10.0%); fruitoils, citronellal (44.8 to 77.2%) and citronellol (10.9 to 14.0%); flower oils, sabinene (41.8 to 42.3%), citronellal (14.3 to 17.3%),β-phellandrene (7.7 to 9.0%), α-pinene (6.6 to 7.6%) and β-pinene (5.8 to 6.1%).* Other investigators reported the major componentsof essential oils from stem bark, leaf and fruit of L. cubeba from the northern part of India consisted of linalool (78.3%), citronellol(41.2%) and citronellal (76.55%), respectively. |
