8007-08-7 Usage
Chemical Properties
Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 8007-08-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Ginger oil and ginger oleoresin are produced from the ginger plant Zingiber
officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae).
Ginger oil is produced by steamdistillation of dried, ground rhizomes. It is a light
yellow to yellow liquid with the aromatic, persistent odor of ginger, but lacking the
pungency usually associated with ginger.The citrus note of ginger oil is produced
by citral.
d2525 0.871–0.882; n20D 1.4880–1.4940; α20D ?45 ° to ?28 °; saponification number:
max. 20; soluble in ethanol, solutions are usually turbid.
The major components of the oil are β-sesquiphellandrene and zingiberene.
2. Obtained by steam distillation of dried, ground rhizomes The yield is approximately 0 25 to 1.2% The oil has a warm, spicy, aromatic odor; the oil tends to thicken and darken on exposure to air The oil lacks the pungency of the other derivatives.
Physical properties
Ginger oil is a light-yellow to yellow liquid It is soluble in most fxed oils and in mineral oil It is soluble, usually with turbidity, in alcohol, but it is insoluble in glycerin and propylene glycol.
Occurrence
Found in the plant Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Fam. Zingiberaceae) (Guenther, 1952).
Uses
Flavor in foods and beverages.
Preparation
By steam distillation of the dried ground rhizomes (Fenarolis' Handbook of Flavor Ingredients, 1971).
Essential oil composition
Main constituents include sesquiterpenes, farnesene, methylheptenone, cineol, borneol, geraniol and
linalool.
General Description
Ginger oil generally contains sesquiterpene hydrocarbons such as zingiberene, ar-curcumene, β-bisabolene and β-sesquiphellandrene and monoterpenes such as geranial, neral and camphene.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. A skin
irritant. Mutation data reported. When
heated to decomposition it emits acrid
smoke and irritating fumes.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 8007-08-7 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 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 8007-08:
(6*8)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*7)+(2*0)+(1*8)=77
77 % 10 = 7
So 8007-08-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
