Juniper berry extract

At Brigham Young University, in the department of biochemistry. Dr. John Mangum has been involved in testing juniper berry extract, as well as watercress, chaparral, and yarrow. The crystalhne anticancer agent occurs in what is called savin, which is obtained from the dried needles.

Compounded gin is produced by a dding extracts of juniper berries and other botanicals to high proof neutral spirits. This gin is perceived to be a lower quahty than distiked gin and not much is produced by this method. 

Gin is usuaky distiked at 180—190° proof. In the second distikation, cmshed juniper berries are placed on mesh trays or perforated racks caked gin heads in the distikation column. The vapors then extract the aromatic flavoring oils and carry them over with the distikate.

Thymol (0.4 g L" ), the main component of EOs derived from Thymus and Origanum plants, a strong inhibitor of in vitro methane production (Evans and Martin 2000), caused a reduction in methane to the extent of 99% at 6 mM concentration (Macheboeuf et al. 2008). Anethole at 20 mg L of medium caused an inhibition of methane in vitro (Chaves et al. 2008c). Other EOs like. Juniper berry EOs and cinnamon oil (Chaves et al. 2008c) and peppermint oil (Tatsouka et al. 2008 Agarwal et al. 2009) have been shown to have a strong inhibitory effect on methanogenesis. The active component of cinnamon oil i.e. cinnamaldehyde caused a depression in methane production to the extent of 94% at 5 mM (Macheboeuf et al. 2008). Methanol and ethanol extracts of fennel seeds and clove buds inhibited in vitro methane production (Patra et al. 2010). Eucalyptus oil inhibited methane production up to 58% at 1.66 mL L (Kumar et al. 2009), 90.3% at 2 mL L" (Sallam et al. 2009) and 70% at a dose of 0.33 g of a-cyclodextrin-eucalyptus oil complex... 

Entrainers can be injected and mixed into the flow of CO2 before it enters the extraction columns, to increase its polarity for certain extractions, e.g. Juniper berry oil [19]. This author considers that ethanol and possibly water are the best natural entrainers for food-grade products, although others have been reported in the technical literature. 

As early as 1978, the researchers at KNIIPP reported on the S.CO2 extraction of juniper [152] along with other herbs and spices. The organoleptic properties and GLC composition of CO2 extracted juniper berry have been reported by this author [22, 153, 154]. Calame and Steiner reported [13] that juniper berries with a 1.47% oil content by steam distillation gave a 7.2% yield after S.CO2 extraction with hexane entrainer and subsequent fractionation at 52 bar and 11°C in the subcritical mode. 

Extracts of Juniperus communis and other species are used in cosmetics, as hair conditioners, and in fragrances (1). The volatile oil distilled from the berries of Juniperus communis (juniper) can act as a gastrointestinal irritant. It is said that excessive doses can cause renal damage, and use during pregnancy is discouraged because of a fear that this might also stimulate the uterus.
