Essential Oil of Heterotheca Latifolia

Although there are several papers in the bibliography about this genus, no one has studied or described its aroma. We have identified in a previous work the main constituents of the essential oil from its aereal parts and showed an olfactive evaluation that was further confirmed by the assistance of the Symposium of Natural Aromatic and Medicinal Resources, held in Necochea, Argentina in 1984. The confirmation of those compounds and identification of some others present in minor quantities are given in this paper. Furthermore, we present a critical analysis of the potential economic value of this essence for the fragrance industry.

Bacteriostatic activity of some Australian essential oils

We shall describe work undertaken with Australian essential oils, supplied to us by the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Syndey. This work was part of an exhaustive study on more than a hundred essential oils to determine which essential oils would show an interesting bacteriostatic activity. From these studies we have selected 10 essential oils as the subject of this article.

New compounds with small rings in essential oils

Despite the continuing discovery of new synthetic fragrance raw materials, essential oils still remain the other half of the foundation of perfumery. Consequently, the analysis of essential oils is still very much of interest, as is illustrated by the excellent series of articles by Lawrence in this journal. We now wish to report a number of products containing small (three-, four-, and five-membered) rings, most of which are found for the first time in essential oils. These products were isolated by chemical group separation, liquid and gas chromatography, whereupon the structures were determined by mass, infrared and NMR spectroscopy. All structures were confirmed by synthesis. The essential oils used were obtained from regular commercial sources.

The Characteristics of Lavender Oils from Eastern Europe

Lavender oil (ex. Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) is produced commercially by a number of countries: France (the main supplier), Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine and Australia. The oils from each of these regions possess distinctive aroma characters, which range from the fine, flowery, fresh notes in the French oils to herbal, woody and camphoraceous with fatty notes in the Australian oils. Herein, it will be shown that these differences in aroma can be translated into a visual form (map) that assists comparisons with chemical analysis data.

The Essential Oil from Rosmarinus officinalis L.

The essential oil produced from the leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis L. is an important essential oil of Spain. The Rosmarinus offlcinalis L. plant grows wild and has been cultivated in different parts of the country. The following sections treat history, botany, essential oil production, physiochemical properties, chemical composition, olfactive properties and applications, and production and trade of the essential oil of Rosemary. The preparation of terpeneless essential oil of Rosemary will be mentioned.

Water-Soluble Fractions of the Essential Oils

Due to the different solubilities, various essential oil components are disproportionately postitioned into the aqueous phase and, hence, the variable polar components are either reduced or lost. Because of this phenomenon, relatively soluble minor components of the oil can escape completely resulting in an unbalanced odor and flavor profile when compared with that of the original plant. Therefore, the water soluble fraction is of importance to both the quantitative and qualitative outcome of the essential oil production.
