▎Essential Oil Introduction
Highly preferred from the Brazilian rainforest and the Mysore region in India, the Amazon rainforest is known as the "Lungs of the Earth" and the "Heart of the World." The average temperature in the region ranges from 25 to 28°C, with an annual rainfall of up to 2000 mm. Rosewood trees are native to this region, producing rosewood rich in Linalool, which possesses a delicate and pleasant aroma. Unlike regions with temperature variations, tropical areas like the Amazon rainforest lack annual rings in their plants, and rosewood is one of them, continuously growing into tall trees. It is also commonly used as furniture material, leading to excessive logging of wild rosewood, putting the species at risk. In 1932, the Brazilian government enacted conservation laws that prohibited cutting down plants under 15 years old, making Brazilian rosewood essential oil highly precious.
Due to its similar climate and geographical conditions to the Brazilian rainforest, the Mysore region in India has become an excellent alternative production area for rosewood. Mysore has an annual rainfall of about 600-2000 mm and an average annual temperature between 10 to 35°C. The rosewood produced here also contains abundant Linalool, possessing excellent mild nourishing effects.
Today, rosewood essential oil comes mainly from planned cultivation in Brazil, causing less environmental impact. Rosewood has a rose-red heartwood and a resilient woody aroma with an elegant and pleasant floral fragrance. In English, it is also known as "Rosewood."
▎Component Analysis
｜Main Components: Monoterpenols
Obtained through distillation, the main components include Linalool (comprising over 80%), α-Terpineol, Linalyl Acetate (also known as Acetic Acid Linalyl Ester), and other trace elements.
｜Component 1: (R)(-)-Linalool
▸ Chemical structure of (R)(-)-Linalool.
▸ There is research related to the effects of Linalool towards nervous system.
｜Component 2: α-Terpineol
α-Terpineol is a colorless, transparent, viscous liquid or low-melting point transparent crystal with a clove-like aroma. The aroma of Terpineol varies greatly depending on the different isomeric components and their content. For example, (R)-(+)-α-Terpineol has a strong lilac aroma, but its isomer (S)-(-)-α-Terpineol has a pine aroma.
▸ α-Terpineol can be obtained from Nerol or Citronellol through cyclization in an acidic solution and has a lilac aroma. Its derivatives, Linalyl Acetate and Linalyl Propionate, are used in fragrance preparation. Additionally, Terpineol is also used in soap, pesticides, medicine, plastics, telecommunications, and instrument industries, as well as a solvent for coloring glassware.
｜Component 3: Linalyl acetate(also known as Acetic Acid Linalyl Ester)
▸ Used in edible flavorings, perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and other fragrances.
