9th International Congress of Essential Oils—Report

The magnificent panorama of Singapore greeted delegates to the 9th International Congress of Essential Oils, March 13-17, 1983. As the only city in Southeast Asia with facilities for such a major International Congress, Singapore lived up to its reputation as the commercial and convention capital. The Mandarin Hotel also proved an excellent choice with more than adequate room for all the meetings, formal and informal, that are such an important part of every congress.

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.

The Genuineness of Two Mint Essential Oils

The authors demonstrated that the isopulegol levels present in mint oils, along with the levels of the compound tentatively identified as neoisoisopulegol, are presently the best indicators of the presence of commint in peppermint. This method offers a good detection threshold and is easily performed through standard GC techniques.

HESP—A New Essential Oil From the Acid Hydrolysate of Spent Sandal Heartwood

In the present study, the utilization of the spent (exhausted) sandalwood powder from steam distillation as a source of an acid hydrolysate oil is examined. It has been found that hydrolysis of the non-volatile portion of an acetone extract of the spent sandalwood powder with methanolic hydrochloric acid followed by steam distillation gave rise to a new essential oil (1.2% yield) which we have called HESP, the acronym for hydrolyzed exhausted sandalwood powder.

New Technology Report: Anglian Essential Oils

Anglian Essential Oils Ltd. is a cooperative formed by six farmers from mid Norfolk and the Fens, an area in the east of England, that aims to establish itself in East Anglia for the production of English-character essential oils.

Argentinian Citrus Essential Oils 1992-1996

Over the last two decades several reports have been published on the production of essential oils in Argentina, particularly the citrus oils. Among the citrus oils, lemon is the dominant product.

Emerging Essential Oil in Africa

The African continent has become one of the most important poduction areas for a number of key fragrance and flavor materials. If we consider the vast resources of labor, the many types of climate, and the low investment for essential oil production, it seems certain that other African countries besides those mentioned, might join the ranks of producers for this industry.

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.

Analysis of Basil Oils by GC-MS Data Bank

This study has allowed us to separate more than one hundred constituents in various basil essential oils and to identify ten new compounds. The usefulness of a library based not only on mass spectra but also on retention times has been demonstrated.

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.
