8002-72-0 Usage
Description
Herbaceous plant originally from the Middle East, but today widespread
throughout the world because of the large consumption of
the edible bulb, the only part used. The stalk can reach approximately
1 m (39 in.) in height. The bulb consists of several concentric
tunics. Onion has a strong, pungent, lasting odor and a
characteristic onion flavor.
The essential oil is obtained by distillation of the bulbs with yields
of about 0.02%. The physical-chemical constants vary widely,
depending on the origin of the plant. The oil is a yellowish liquid
with a characteristic onion odor. Main constituents of the oil are
d-n-propyl disulfide and methyl-n-propyl disulfide.
The derivatives are oleoresin, fluid concentrated water extract, and
the fluid extract. The first two derivatives are obtained by special
manufacturing processes from thermally pretreated bulbs in order
to enhance some flavor top notes, as well as the flavoring strength.
Chemical Properties
Obtained by steam distillation of the bulbs with yields of about 0.02%. The physical–chemical constants vary widely,
depending on the origin of the plant. The oil has a characteristic onion odor.
Physical properties
The oil is a clear, amber-yellow-to-amber-orange liquid. It is soluble in most fixed oils, mineral
oil and alcohol. It is insoluble in propylene glycol and glycerin.
Essential oil composition
Main constituents of the oil are d-n-propyl disulfide and methyl-n-propyl dilsufide.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 8002-72-0 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 8,0,0 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 8002-72:
(6*8)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*2)+(2*7)+(1*2)=70
70 % 10 = 0
So 8002-72-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
