FEMA 2466 - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
The tender leaves of eucalyptus globulus or other eucalyptus trees were collected, and the oil was extracted by steam distillation. Can be divided into two kinds of atmospheric pressure method and pressure method. The atmospheric pressure method is to add a cooking pot to the lower part of the oil drum, and steam is directly generated from the pot to achieve the purpose of distilling eucalyptus oil. The pressurized method is to supply steam from an industrial boiler, and the inlet pressure is 0.2~0. 4MPa, the internal pressure of 0.05MPa.

| Introduction | Eucalyptus oil is one of the most commonly used essential oils. With the increasing popularity of sweets and chewing gums, one of the main uses of Eucalyptus oil is as a food additive. Synthetic spices have a new impact and a clean infection, and have a great impact on the cosmetics industry (such as toothpaste and oral cleaning products) and other household cleaning products, also affects the fragrance of the perfume.

In addition, it still contains a variety of components such as aryl aldehyde. It also contains rutin, quercetin, quercitrin, eucalyptol, tannin, resin and bitter quality. |
| Source | volatile oil obtained from leaves of eucalyptus globulus or other plants belonging to the same genus by steam distillation. Plant morphology: large tree, up to more than 10 meters. The bark was usually exfoliated and pale blue-gray; The branches were slightly 4-prism-shaped, with glandular points and narrow wings on the ribs. Leaf Type 2: old trees bearing normal leaves, leaves sickle-shaped, linear, long-pointed, base broadly wedge-shaped and slightly oblique; Young plants and new branches bearing abnormal leaves, single leaf opposite, leaf blade Oval-ovoid, sessile, Apex short-pointed, base shallowly cordate; Both leaves were covered densely with white powder and green-gray below, with distinct glandular dots on both sides. Flowers usually solitary in leaf axilla or 2-3 clumped, sessile or with very short and flattened sessile; Calyx tube with ribs and small nodules, with blue-white wax; petals confluent with sepals into a cap, yellowish-white, many in stamens, separated in sequence; Style thicker. Capsule cup-shaped, with 4 ribs and inconspicuous tumor or groove. |
| efficacy and function | eucalyptus oil can dispense wind, relieve fever, remove dampness and detoxify. It is a kind of medicine, eucalyptus oil can be used as food flavor, the most important thing in food flavor is safety, eucalyptus oil has high safety, which is very good for our health, however, eucalyptus oil also has a lot of benefits for us.

The cause of side effects: Because eucalyptus oil will cause gastrointestinal and digestive tract mucosa irritation. Eucalyptus oil contains a lot of cineole, rutin, quercetin and other ingredients, these ingredients will stimulate the digestive tract mucosa, inhibit the respiratory center, causing discomfort. |
| content analysis | accurately weigh about 3g of sample previously dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, transfer into a 25mm x 150mm test tube. 2.100g of molten O-Cresol with a melting point above 30 ° C. (the effect of wet cresol is not good) is added. The mixture was stirred with a thermometer until crystallization and the highest crystallization temperature was noted. The test tube is slowly warmed to allow complete melting of the solid, then the test tube is inserted into an instrument for determining the freezing point and is slowly cooled to the onset of crystallization, or the temperature is lowered to the known point described above. The tube was rubbed up and down the tube wall with a thermometer and agitated strongly until crystals were formed. Continuous agitation and friction cause the temperature to rise. The highest temperature was taken as the freezing point. The above procedure was repeated until the two results did not differ by more than 0.1 °c. The percentage content of cineole was then determined according to the content determination method in "cineole (03554). |
