Chavicol

A much more forgiving yet limited extraction method can be used to isolate phenol species such as eugenol and chavicol. You see farther back in this chapter where one can use dilute NaOH to remove eugenol from sassafras oil Well, why not use it to isolate the damn things for further research. It works like a charm ... [Pg.52]

Basil (Sweet Basil). Basil consists of the brown, dried leaves and tender stems of Ocimum basilicum L. (Labiatae), an aimual native to India, Africa, and Asia, and cultivated in Egypt, southern Erance, Morocco, the Mediteranean countries, and the United States. Basil is one of the oldest known herbs, and it is reported that there are perhaps 50—60 poorly defined Ocimum species which can only be identified according to their chemical components. The flavor of the basihcum type is warm, sweet, somewhat pungent, and pecuhar, ie, methyl chavicol and linalool. It is used with meats, fish, certain cheeses, and tomato-based salads. The fresh leaves are ground and known as pesto with pastas. It is the main component of the Hqueur Chartreuse. [Pg.27]

Many commercial grades of pine oil are available and are specified by physical properties and total alcohol content. Some commercial pine oils and the typical physical properties are Hsted in Table 4. Other grades of pine oil may constitute a blend of synthetic and natural pine oil and give the product a different odor characteristic. The odor difference is caused by the presence of phenoHc ethers anethole and methyl chavicol. [Pg.420]

Tardy ha.s examined an Algerian oil of specific gravity 0 991 and optical rotation +62°.

Like most phenols, it gives an intense blue colour with solution of ferric chloride. By heating it with alcoholic potash and methyl iodide it is converted into methyl-chavicol or estragol, the characteristic constituent of tarragon oil. [Pg.258]

The major components of the oil are myrcene (20—30%), eugenol (44—56%), and chavicol (8-11 %) [281-283b]. The phenol content is determined largely by the last two compounds. [Pg.177]
