| Costus oil Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | The oil is obtained in approximately 0.7% yields by steam distillation after maceration in water of the comminuted
dried roots. Since the oil contains water-soluble components and has a specific gravity similar to that of water, it is subsequently
recovered from the distillation waters by extraction with solvents. The oil has a characteristic persistent odor reminiscent of orris,
violet and vetiver. | | Physical properties | Costus oil is a viscous, pale-yellow to yellowish-brown liquid. It is soluble in most fixed oils and
in mineral oil. It is insoluble in glycerin and propylene glycol. | | Definition | Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Saussurea lappa, Compositae. | | Essential oil composition | The main constituents include myrcene, p-cymene, l-limalool, β-ionone, sesquiterpenes, costolactone
and a small amount of palmitic acid. |
