▎Essential Oil Introduction
Premium Petitgrain essential oils are sourced from the fertile Hernandarias region in Paraguay. Hernandarias, with its subtropical climate, experiences year-round temperatures ranging from 0 to 35°C. The area boasts abundant sunshine and soft, moist soil, providing an excellent natural environment for local plant species. Among them, the bitter orange tree stands out as one of the most vibrant and flourishing.
In this region, bitter orange trees are pruned every nine months to maintain the best quality of their leaves and branches, a process that is both traditional and skillful. The cultivation of bitter orange trees has a history of over a century here. We have established a long-term, sustainable green partnership with this region to ensure a steady supply of high-quality essential oils with exquisite fragrances.
In ancient French traditions, a soothing remedy for children involved using hydrosols distilled from Neroli and Petitgrain. These were mixed with honey and warm milk to help calm the nervous system. Emotionally, the essence of these oils is believed to help individuals regain self-worth, soothe emotional imbalances, and process inner turmoil, bringing them back to a state of calm and stability.
▎Component Analysis
｜Main component: Esters
The primary components include Linalyl acetate, Linalool, Limonene, Terpineol, Nerol, and a variety of trace elements such as ß-pinene, Ethyl acetate, ß-bourbonene, and ß-laurene.
Petitgrain and lavender share similar chemical properties, with both containing high levels of Linalyl acetate and a certain proportion of Linalool. This combination creates an excellent relaxing and sleep-inducing effect. Additionally, the trace nitrogen-containing compound Methyl anthranilate found in Petitgrain helps promote deep relaxation, fostering a sense of support and comfort.
▸ Common chemical structures in essential oils have been studied for their stimulating effects on the nervous system.
｜Component 1: Linalyl acetate
▸ Petitgrain essential oil has a less pronounced effect on the sympathetic nervous system but exhibits a faster and more significant impact on stimulating parasympathetic nervous activity. Under the interaction between both systems, the overall balance of the autonomic nervous system shows noticeable changes within five minutes.
｜Component 2: Linalool
｜Component 3: Methyl anthranilate
▸ In nature, Methyl anthranilate is found in flowers such as Tuberose, Neroli, Ylang Ylang, and Jasmine. It is used in the preparation of perfumes like Neroli and Honeysuckle, as well as artificial fragrances such as strawberry and grape. It is synthesized through the esterification of anthranilic acid and methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.
