Finally, I have to say that formulation of safe fragrance materials cannot be accomplished by cosmetic companies alone. The cooperation of perfumers, perfume companies and such organizations as RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Materials) and IFRA (International Fragrance Association) is sure to accomplish this goal.

Parameter test distillations for the superficial essential oils

Every effort was made to ensure that the herb used in the three 1975 distillations was a similar as possible. The same applied to the 1976 season's tests. Nonetheless, the smaller charges consistently return smaller yields of oil per kilo. This is due to an orderly phenomenon that could be discussed on another occasion.

A New Method of Separation of Citral from Lemongrass Oil

Although many methods are known for the separation of citral from lemongrass (Cymbopogen flexuosus) oil, like fractional distillation, adduct formation and regeneration, the purity and the yield of citral as separated are not satisfactory. A new method for separation of citral in pure form and in near quantitative yield uses the column chromatographic technique. This method may also be adapted for large scale separation of citral and hence can be of commercial importance.

Wats (sym. Andropogon nardus var. flexuosus Hack), is native to India. Its two strains, SD-68 and OD-19, which have been cultivated at our Kukrail Research Farm, Lucknow, were examined by gas chromatography and the presence of new trace constituents was established for the first time.
