Use | China GB 2760-96 for the allowable use of flavorants. |
production method | by the sandalwood plant white sandalwood, also known as East India Sandalwood (Santalum album) ground roots and xylem by drying and steam distillation obtained, the yield of about 4%. It is mainly produced in India, and a small number of species are introduced in China. |
