trait | colorless or white transparent flaky friable crystals |
properties | borneol is colorless or white transparent flaky friable crystal, or crystalline powder or block. Soluble in ethanol, chloroform, gasoline, almost insoluble in water. Strong pine aroma, camphor and mint odor. Heat can be sublimated, room temperature can be slowly volatile, there is a burning sensation. Melting Point: 208 ℃, Boiling Point: 212 ℃ |
Use | flavorant. Mainly used for the preparation of mint, lime and nuts and other types of flavor. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. GB 2760-1996 provides for the permitted use of flavorants. Mainly used for the preparation of mint, lime and nuts and other types of flavor. used as a Biochemical reagent, also used in the pharmaceutical industry widely used in the preparation of rosemary, lavender and other flavors, and used in the pharmaceutical, etc. used in the manufacture of borneol esters, spices and so on. |
identification test | when a sample is mixed and milled with an equal amount of thymol, it becomes liquid. Take sample 0.5g, add 2~3 drops of diethyl ether, add 20% potassium dichromate solution 4ml and concentrated sulfuric acid 0.3ml after dissolution, shake and heat in warm water, the liquid should be reddish brown, the disappearance of the specific aroma produces a camphor odor. |
