Usage

Chemical Properties

Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 8016-03-3 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Davana oil is obtained by steam distillation of the herb Artemisia pallens Wall. (Asteraceae), grown in South India. It is produced in limited quantities only (<10 t/yr). Davana oil is an orange-brown liquid with a sweet, tea-like odor reminiscent of dried fruits. d25 0.9585–0.9722; n25D 1.4880–1.5083; α25D +41 °to +54 ° . The composition of the oil is very complex; its main components are furanoid sesquiterpenes. It is used predominantly for flavor compositions.
2. Prepared by steam distillation of newly blossomed flowers harvested at the end of April. It has a characteristic, persistent, balsamic aroma with a sweet balsamic, tenacious backnote.

Physical properties

The oil is very dark-green or brownish-green (similar to several artemisia oils).

Occurrence

Found in the plant of Artemisia pallens Wall. (Fam. Compositae) (Guenther, 1952).

Preparation

By steam distillation of the plant A. pallens Wall. (Guenther, 1952).

Essential oil composition

The oil contains terpenic hydrocarbons (8.55%), including dihydrofurano compounds (cis-devanone 38%, trans-devanone 5%, iso-devanone 3%, nor-devanone 1.5%, lavender lactone 3%, trans-hydroxydavenone 2%); terpenic alcohols, acids (mainly devanic acid) and esters (CoE, 2000).
