▎Essential Oil Introduction
Linaloe seed, also known as Indian Lavender Tree. Its name comes from the high content of linalool found in Mexican Linaloe, where "linaloe" derives from its high linalool content. Native to Mexico, this resilient plant propagates via seeds and requires minimal care, thriving in dry, hot climates.
Introduced to India in 1912, Mexican Linaloe oil is now considered to have superior quality compared to its Mexican counterpart. The essential oil from these regions differs slightly: Indian Linaloe oil is primarily derived from the dried fruit husks and is rich in benzyl acetate, while Mexican Linaloe oil is distilled from both wood and fruit, with a high linalool content. The aroma is complex, featuring woody top notes followed by floral and warm tropical spice nuances. The oil is obtained from the fruit, similar to black pepper, resulting in a warm, aromatic essential oil.
In the 1920s, a Russian and Indian couple began cultivating Linaloe in India, promoting the plant in Bangalore and Karnataka. They established a 300-acre plantation for harvesting and distilling the fruit to produce the essential oil. The aromatic profile and chemical structure of Linaloe seed closely resemble rosewood, making it a suitable alternative for those seeking the benefits of rosewood, especially after rosewood's conservation status increased.
▎Component Analysis
|Main component: Monoterpenols
The main components include linalool, benzyl acetate, geranyl acetate, and β-caryophyllene. These compounds contribute to a gentle and balanced fragrance profile.
|Research Validation
▸ Studies have shown that the essential oils of three medicinal plants—coriander, Linaloe seed (Indian Lavender Tree), and spike lavender—exhibit anesthetic effects on aquatic plants.
