Ocotea cymbarum

Brazilian sassafras oil is obtained by steam distillation of the roots, trunks, and branches of Ocotea pretiosa (Nees) Mez. (Lauraceae) a tree growing wild in South America (Brazil). The oil was formerly called Ocotea cymbarum oil due to incorrect botanical naming. It is a yellow to brownish liquid with the characteristic odor of safrole. [Pg.219]

CAS 68917-09-9. A volatile oil derived from Ocotea cymbarum used for its safrole content for the manufacture of hehotropin. [Pg.916]

But, safrole is the major component of the essential oil of sassafras which is still quite legal to obtain. Sassafras oil has a strong licorice smell which is imparted to it from the safrole molecule. Commercially, there are two kinds of sassafras oil being sold today American sassafras (Sassafras albidum) and Brazilian sassafras (Ocotea cymbarum). Plain old American sassafras contains about 80% safrole but the Brazilian sassafras oil is almost 90-95% safrole and can pretty much be used as is. [Pg.15]
