Clove oil Usage And Synthesis
Description The clove oil is a kind of essential oil extracted from the clove plants, Syzygium aromaticum. It is divided into three categories including bud oil, leaf oil and stem oil. Clove oil has many applications such as relieving toothache, anesthetizing or euthanizing laboratory or pet fish. It has also shown that clove oil has many health effects. For example, it has strong anti-inflammatory effect, and can protect the liver against disease. It can also be used as an antiseptic for oral infection and a broad-spectrum antimicrobial reagent. Clove oil can generally support the health of our liver, skin, hair and mouth.

Chemical Properties colourless to pale yellow liquid with a
Chemical Properties Clove bud oil is obtained in 15–20% yield by steam distillation of the dried flower buds. Clove bud oil, similar to the leaf oil, is a yellow to brown, sometimes slightly viscous liquid. It turns dark purple-brown on contactwith iron. The oil has the spicy odor and flavor that are characteristic of eugenol. d2020 1.042–1.063; n20D 1.5280–1.5380; α20D 1.5 ° to 0 °; phenol content: 85–93%; content by GC: eugenol 75–85%, caryophyllene 2–7%, eugenol acetate 8–15%.
Chemical Properties Clove bud oil is obtained by the distillation of buds with water or steam. The yield is typically between 15 and 18%, but is dependent on the quality of the buds, precautions exercised and distiller efficiency. Of the clove oils, clove bud oil is the most expensive. Approximately 50 tons is produced each year in Madagascar. The oil has the characteristic clove-like aroma and a burning, spicy flavor.
Physical properties The oil is clear and mobile. The color usually darkens with age.
Uses Pharmaceutic aid (flavor).
Uses clove bud oil has similar properties to clove oil, though it is most often used for its odor-masking properties. Distillates from dried buds are considered of higher quality than those obtained from the stems and leaves. Clove oil derived from the plant’s leaves is sometimes used to adulterate the oil obtained from the bud.
Essential oil composition Clove bud oil contains 70 to 90% eugenol, 2 to 17% eugenyl acetate, 5 to 12% α- and β-caryophyllene and traces of caryophyllene epoxide, gallic acid, flavonoids, oleanolic acid, rhamnetin, methyl salicylate, methyl-n-amyl ketone, methyln- heptyl ketone, methyl-n-amyl carbinol, methyl-n-heptyl carbinol, methyl alchohol, methyl benzoate, furfural, α-methyl furfural, furfuryl alchohol, vanillin and possibly β-pinene, valeraldehyde, methyl furfuryl alcohol and dimethyl furfural.*
