Chervil

METHYLCHAVICOL Up to 80+% in most basil, chervil and fennel oils. In small amounts in star anise and wormwood. 

OSMORHIZOLE Makes up 25% of the essential oil of chervil. Very hard to find this oil though.

Leafy herbs such as parsley, chervil, cilantro, summer savory, and dill all enjoy the slightly richer soil found in a vegetable garden. These types of herbs are best sown direct in the spring once the soil is warm enough. 

Susceptible plants Primarily a severe pest of carrots. Also attacks celery, chervil, parsley, and parsnip. 

Plants that can cause photodermatitis include carrots, celery, parsnip, dill, fennel, caraway, parsley, lovage, anise, and chervil among the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae, or carrot family), figs (Moraceae), and citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon, lime.

A very important addition to the knowledge of the sensitivity of explosives to impact has been made by Delpuech and Cherville [53-55]. As a result of their exhaustive study, they concluded that the basic criterion of sensitivity of explosives lies in the distribution of electrons in their ground state and the comparison with that in the excited state. This has introduced a new dimension to the sensitivity of explosives and has been discussed in detail by T. Urbanski in his book [56].

Chervil Oil Anthriscus cerefolium) A very interesting and rare essential oil. I will discuss it fully in the Osmorhizole section. This oil is made up of 75.1 % methyl chavicol [53]. 

This was such a charming little find. In the book The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils by Julia Lawless, she claims that the oil of chervil (a European spice plant) has this compound. Well, the literature backs it up. Chervil oil (Anthriscus cerefolium) is made up primarily of j ust two things 75.1 % methylchavicol and 22.3% osmorhizole [53]. 

But I am sorry to say that I can find no commercial source for this oil on earth. I mean to say I have looked everywhere This is perplexing because chervil is not uncommon at all. I even have some growing in my garden. Tastes funny, too.T m sure you can see that this unique allylbenzene has extraordinary potential. 

Delpuech and Cherville [45b] suggest using values of AC // and 6 as daia indicating the tendency of explosives to decompose under impact. This would be particularly advisable with new explosives which although their structure is known, possess unknown properties. 

Cherville and associates [44] have examined a number of explosives in a mass spectrograph. Particularly important and reproducible were results at 77K. The formation of NOj was readily established in the spectrograms. The authors introduced a concept of the radiochemical yield of formation of NOj. A considerable difference exists between the values of of nitramines and nitroaromatics. They correlated the values of Gnoj with those of the sensitivity of explosives to impact, friction and high temperature (temperature of initiation f at the rate of heating 5 C/min) Table 9. 

A remarkable paper has been published by Cherville and co-workers [80]. They examined the behaviour of a few secondary explosives to the irradiation from Co and introduced the value Gnoj the quantity of NOj by irradiation. They found the values of being correlated to the ability of explosives to detonate. The following are the figures for Gisio =... 

Experience has shown that freeze drying results in qualitatively superior products when compared to other drying and preservation methods. Herbs such as basil, chervil, dill, parsley, garlic, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme and watercress are especially suitable. Economical reasons can also play a role. Freeze-dried products are, in contrast to fresh produce, constantly available all year round at rather stable prices ]27],...
