SAFETY PROFILE Poison by intravenous, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Serious physiological consequences from abuse of absinthe (mainly in France) led to its aboKtion in 1915. Wormwood is still used in concentrations of less than 10 ppm in flavored wines. Thujone at 30 mg/kg causes convulsions associated with lesions of the cerebral cortex. Little is known of thujone metabolism. Both forms occur in wormwood oil, oak moss. The a form is major constituent of cedar leaf oil or oil of thuja, sage. The p form occurs in tansy, yarrow. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Oil of Cedar Leaf. Cedar leaf oil. Obtained by steam distillation from the fresh leaves of Thuja occidentalis L, Cupressaceae. Although this oil is known commercially as cedar leaf oil, the tree from whose leaves it is obtained is not a true cedar it is a coniferous tree popularly known as "arbor vitae, sometimes erroneously called white cedar. Habit. Canada and Northern U.S. Constit. o-pinene, d-ikujone, a -fenchone. 

Composition Main components, principally responsible for the odor ait 1,8- cineole (6-13%), camphor (3-9%) as well as a- and fi-thujone (see thujan-3-ones) (8-43%) or 3-9% (cedar leaf oil).

Thujone (21), a major component of wormwood, Artemisia absinthum, was once a major flavoring of the liquor absinthe (Arnold, 1989 Harbome, 1991). At doses of 30 mg/kg of body weight, thujone produces convulsions associated with lesions of the cerebral cortex. Thujone is also a major constituent of cedar leaf oil Thuja occidentalis) and an important component of sage (Salvia officinalis) (Alfaro, 1981). 

Essential oils, as products of distillation, are mixtures of mainly low-molecular-weight chemical substances. Sources of essential oils include components (e.g., pulp, bark, peel, leaf, berry, blossom) of fruits, vegetables, spices, and other plants. Essential oils are prepared from food and nonfood sources. Many of the approximately 100 essential oils used as avoring ingredients in food are derived directly from food (i.e., lemon oil, basil oil, and cardamom oil) far fewer are extracts from plants that are not normally consumed as food (e.g., cedar leaf oil or balsam r oil). 

ISO standard 9909 shows character and data for this oil. As the main components a thujone p thujone are known, adulteration is done with thuja oil or cedar leaf oil. p Garyophyllene, 1,8 cineole, and borneol from other sources are used. a-Humulene is a marker with up to 12% total content. Detection is done by GG-MS analysis.
