d2525 0.890–0.906; n20D 1.4700–1.4750; α20D +14 ° to +24 °; acid number: max. 2.5;saponification number: 23–40; saponification number (after acetylation) 68–86;solubility: 1 vol in 2 vol of 80% ethanol.
The main constituent of the oil is 1-terpinen-4-ol (>20%), which with (+)-cissabinenehydrate (3–18%) is responsible for the characteristic flavorand fragrance of marjoram oil.
Sweetmarjoram oil is produced on a relatively small scale, for example, in Egypt,and is used mainly for flavoring foods, but also in smaller amounts in perfumeryfor spicy shadings in men’s fragrances. |
| Chemical Properties | The oil is obtained by steam distillation with yields of usually less than 0.3%. It has a spicy and cardamom note. |
| Physical properties | Marjoram, sweet oil is a yellow or greenish-yellow oil. The oil is soluble in most fixed oils (withturbidity in mineral oil). It is partly soluble in propylene glycol and insoluble in glycerin. |
| Uses | Soap perfume and in toilet preparations. TheSpanish grade is used as a flavoring ingredient. |
