Product Name: Hyssop oil (CAS NO.8006-83-5)
Mol File: 8006-83-5.mol
Hyssop oil (CAS NO.8006-83-5) is used as an ingredient in eau de Cologne and the liqueur Chartreuse. It is also used to color the spirit Absinthe, along with Melissa and Roman wormwood. Hyssop is also used, usually in combination with other herbs such as liquorice, in herbal remedies, especially for lung conditions. It is a convulsant (causes convulsions) due to its effect on the central nervous system.
Ritual use
A plant referred to as hyssop appears repeatedly in the Hebrew Bible. In Exodus 12:22 the Israelites in Egypt are instructed to "Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning." It is used by the priests in the Temple of Solomon for purification rites of various kinds in Leviticus 14:4-7, 14:49-52, 19:6, 18. Accordingly, hyssop is also often used to fill the Catholic ceremonial Aspergillum, which the priest dips into a bowl of holy water, and sprinkles onto the congregation to bless them. However, researchers have suggested that the Biblical accounts refer not to the plant currently known as hyssop, but rather one of a number of different herbs."
The Talmud calls the hyssop ????? and considers it to be a herbal remedy for indigestion.
Culinary use
Hyssop oil (CAS NO.8006-83-5) leaves have a slightly bitter minty flavour and can be added to soups, salads or meats, although should be used sparingly as the flavour is very strong.
