| Chemical Properties | Parsley leaf oil is produced by steam distillation of the aerial parts of the plant, including the immature seeds. It is a yellow to light-brown liquid with the typical odor of the herb. d2525 0.908–0.940; n20D 1.5030–1.5300; α20D ?9 ° to +1 °; acid number:max. 2; soluble in 95% ethanol; solutions may be opalescent. The oil consists mainly of monoterpene hydrocarbons. Its main constituent is 1,3,8-menthatriene, which is important for the aroma of parsley leaves. |
| Chemical Properties | Parsley Seed Essential Oil: Parsley seed essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the ripe seeds in approximately1.5 to 3.5% yields. The oil has a warm, spicy odor with a bitter, warm, aromatic taste. Parsley Leaf Oil: Parsley leaf oil isobtained by steam distillation of leaves and flowering tops in very low yields (0.06%). This oil exhibits a much harsher, herbaceousnote than the seed oil. Parsley Herb Essential Oil: Parsley herb essential oil is obtained by distilling the whole plant, excluding theroot. It is a pale-yellow to greenish-yellow liquid with a pronounced herbaceous odor and a warm, bitter, slightly burning taste. |
| Physical properties | Parsely herb oil: It is a yellow-to-light brown liquid. It is soluble in most fixed oils, mineral oiland alcohol. It is slightly soluble in propylene glycol and is insoluble in glycerin. Parsley Seed Oil: It is a more or less viscous, yellowish-to-yellow-amber liquid that sometimes deposits crystals on being chilled. Seed oil is soluble in most fixed oils, mineral oil andalcohol. It is slightly soluble in propylene glycol and is insoluble in glycerin. For additional characteristics refer to Burdock (1997). |
| Occurrence | Found in the seed of the herb Petroselinum sativum Hoffm. (Apium petroselinum l., Carum petroselinum Benth et Hook) of the family Umbelliferae. |
| Uses | Flavoring in foods and pharmaceuticals. |
| Uses | Parsley Seed Oil is traditionally used for soothing and anti-itching treatment in dermatological disorders. It may also be used as a preservative.Parsley Seed Oil is extracted from the plant’s seeds that contain an oil called apiol. It may cause allergic reactions in sensitive skin. |
| Definition | Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Petroselinum crispum. |
| Preparation | By careful steam distillation of the ripe seed. |
| Essential oil composition | Main constituents, in addition to apiole, include α-pinene, myristicin, traces of conjugated coumarins,ketones, aldehydes, a solid hydrocarbon (m.p. 69°C) and traces of phenolic compounds (Burdock, 1997). |
| Pharmacology | In pharmacological studies of Egyptian P. hortense (P. sativum), plant extractsstimulated spontaneous activity of rat uterus and intestine in vitro and lowered blood pressureand respiratory movements in anaesthetized dogs. Growth of rats was stimulated and uterine weightwas increased by parsley in the diet. The results suggested therapeutic uses of P. hortense as alaxative, hypotensive, ecbolic and emmenagogue, and promoter of growth (Sharaf et al. 1969). |
| Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion. A human skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes |
