Patchouli Oil CAS#8014-09-3

Patchouli Oil is extracted from the leaves of the Pogostemon cablin plant. The fundamental extraction approach is steam distillation. The leaves of patchouli are positioned in a distillation device, and the crucial oil elements are taken out with the aid of steam. Then, pure patchouli oil is received thru condensation, separation and different steps.
The most important elements are patchouli alcohol (patchoulol) and patchouli ketone (pogostone). The content material of patchouli alcohol is surprisingly high, normally round 20% – 50%, and it is one of the principal contributors to the special scent of patchouli indispensable oil. Patchoulone has sure antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, and the content material is round 1% – 12%. In addition, it additionally includes a range of terpene compounds such as α-pinene, β-pinene, etc.
The odor is strong, lasting and unique, with a combined aroma of wood, earth and musk. It is typically a mild to darkish brown liquid.
