Peru-balsam oil

In 1899 Thoms isolated an alcohol from Peru balsam oil, which he termed peruviol. This body was stated to have powerful antiseptic properties, but has not been further investigated until Schimmel Co. took up the subject. The oil after saponification was fractionated, and after benzyl alcohol had distilled over, a light oil with characteristic balsamic odour passed over. It boiled at 125° to 127° at 4 mm., and had a specific gravity 0 8987, optical rotation -1- 12° 22, and refractive index 1-48982. This body appeared to be identical with Hesse s nerolidol, whilst in physical and chemical properties it closely resembles peruviol. The characters of the various preparations were as follows —... [Pg.125]

R = CH2C6Hs, C14H12O2, Mr 212.25, 6p2.okPa 170-171 °C, df 1.1121, ng 1.5680, is the main component of Peru balsam oil. It occurs in fairly large amounts in a number of blossom concretes and absolutes (e.g., tuberose and hyacinth). It forms either a viscous liquid or solid flakes mp 21 22°C) and has a weak, sweet-balsamic odor. It is prepared either by transesterification of technical methyl benzoate with benzyl alcohol, or from benzyl chloride and sodium benzoate. A third process starts with benzaldehyde which is converted in high yield into benzyl benzoate in the presence of sodium or aluminum benzylate (Tishchenko reaction). [Pg.120]

Peru balsam oil is obtained by distillation of the balsam of the tree Myroxylon pereira (Royle) Klotzsch (Fabaceae), called peru balsam. It is a yellow to pale brown, slightly viscous liquid, which may form crystals. The oil has a rather sweet, balsamic odor. [Pg.213]

Peru balsam oil, the oily portion (so-called cinnamein ) obtained from Peru balsam. Specific gravity at 15° C., 1 100-1 107 optical rotation, slightly dextro-rotatory up to + 2° refractive index at 20° C., 1 569 to 1 576 ester, calculated as benzyl benzoate, B0-B7 per cent. soluble in 1 volume of 90 per cent, alcohol. [Pg.104]

Styrene occurs naturally in benzoin, rosemary, sweetgum, cassia. Oriental styrax, and Peru balsam (Duke, 1992). Identified as one of 140 volatile constituents in used soybean oils collected from a processing plant that fried various beef, chicken, and veal products (Takeoka et al., 1996). [Pg.1008]

Peru balsam is produced almost exclusively in El Salvador. The oil yield from the balsam is ca. 50%. Major components are benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate. Nerolidol and vanillin contribute to the odor [284aj. [Pg.213]

As the rose essential and absolute oils are some of the most expensive oils in the market, they are likely to be adulterated. True essential oils may be diluted by the addition of chemicals such as phenylethyl alcohol, diethyl phthalate (DEP), citronellol and geraniol and with fractions from other essential oils such as geranium. The absolute may be adulterated with synthetic fractions of oils such as Peru balsam and clove bud absolute. [Pg.189]

Derivation Occurs naturally in Peru balsam and oils of orange flower, sweet orange, and ylang ylang. Also made synthetically. [Pg.882]

The oil is used for its excellent fixative properties in perfumes for soap and cosmetics. Use of Peru balsam itself is banned because it is allergenic. [Pg.225]

Peru balsam, Peru oil. P. balsam is a dark red, viscous but still fluid mass.
