with three hard, black seeds. The part used is the bark of the thin branches. Cascarilla has a bitter, tonic flavor with a spicy odor
mixture of clove, cardamom, eucalyptus and nutmeg.
3. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the bark, with yields of 2%.
Physical properties
Yellow-green or amber liquid. It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil, but it is practically
insoluble in glycerin and propylene glycol.
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 8007-06-5 differently. You can refer to the following data:

Essential oil composition
Different sources of media describe the Essential oil composition of 8007-06-5 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Main constituents (an active laxative principle) include at least 6 to 9% anthracene derivatives which
exist as normal O-glycosides and C-glycosides. The four primary glycosides or cascarosides A, B, C and D contain both O- and
C-glycosidic linkages.
2. The main constituents of the oil are l-limonene, p-cymene, d-penene, eugenol and cascarillic acid. The
bark contains cascarillin and vanillin.
Safety Profile
When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 8007-06-5 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 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 8007-06:
(6*8)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*7)+(2*0)+(1*6)=75
75 % 10 = 5
So 8007-06-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
