Bay Leaf Oil

Bay Oil. Steam distillation of the leaves of the tree Pimenta racemosa (Mill) which is indigenous to certain islands of the West Indies, particularly Dominica and Puerto Rico, is called bay or bay leaf oil. The same source was used in the past to produce Bay Rum in which mm was distilled over the leaves. Bay oil [8006-78-8] is a yellowish to dark brown mobile Hquid with a fresh-spicy, sometimes medicinal odor with a lasting sweet-balsamic undertone. The oil finds extensive use in hair tonics, after-shave lotions as well as other men s-type fragrances. There is Htde or no use by the flavor industry. The range of components for a number of bay leaf oils is shown in Table 25 (66).

Mill.) J.W. Moore (Bay oil). The difference between the oils is the content of eugenol and myr-cenol. Pimento berry oil shows a content of more than 80% of eugenol and traces of myrcene, while bay oil contains maximum 56% of eugenol but up to 30% of myrcene. Eugenol from cinnamon leaf oil is added as adulteration for both oils and myrcene from other sources. Detection is done by GC-MS. 

The Olefinic Substrates The highly iso-regioselective hydroformylation of allyl- or propenylarenes (phenylpropanoids) gives aldehydes with numerous applications in flavors and perfumes. Several 2-aryl-prop-1-enes required as substrates can be extracted from natural sources in a rather pure form (Figure 6.8). For example, eugenol, with its typical spicy, clove like aroma, can be isolated from clove oil, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil, and bay leaf. Safrol (shikimol) is isolated from sassafras plants and has a typical sweet-shop aroma. Estragole (methyl chavicol) is produced from basil oil and chavicol from betel oil. 

The essential oil has shown bactericidal and fungicidal properties it also depressed the heart rate and lowered blood pressure in animals. Formulations containing sweet bay leaf and its volatile oils have been claimed to have antidandruff activities.
