| Overview | Litsea cubeba oil is a natural plant essential oil obtained from fruit, peel and leaves of litsea cubeba by steam distillation. A strong lemon flavor, the main component of citral, its content is generally 60% ~ 80%. Litsea cubeba oil has strong bactericidal and anti-insect activity.

Litsea cubeba oil can degrade the carcinogen aflatoxin. By Hunan Institute of grain and oil, Hunan Medical College and other units of the success of the experiment, the litsea cubeba oil can directly eliminate the aflatoxin in rice. Each 100 more than 25 times the national provisions of the toxic content of rice as long as Litsea cubeba oil gas fumigation, toxic content can be reduced to the national standards below; For the rice elephant, Valley, corn, mung bean and other pests have good insecticidal activity. However, Litsea cubeba oil is an extremely safe natural product to human body, and it is a food additive that can be used in China's "hygienic standard for the use of food additives.

China GB 2760-96 is the allowable use of edible spices. Also used as a starting material for isolated citral. |
| content analysis | The hydroxylamine/tert-butanol method in the aldehyde and ketone assay (OT-7) was used. The amount of the sample was 5ml, and the equivalent factor (8) in the calculation was 76.12. Thus, the content of the carbonyl compound (in terms of citral) was determined. |
| production method | the bark of Litsea cubeba (Litsea cubeba), leaves and fresh fruits were obtained by steam distillation. The yield ranged from 2% to 8%. China is the main producer, and the area south of the Yangtze River is produced. The fresh fruit, leaves and bark of litsea cubeba, a Lauraceae plant mainly produced in the south of the Yangtze River in China, were used as raw materials by steam distillation, and the oil yield was 2% ~ 8%. |
