Pimenta Oil Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Description
Pimenta Officinalis Leaf Extract is the volatile oil distilled from the leaves of the Pimento, Pimenta officinalis, Myrtaceae
Chemical Properties
Pimento oils (allspice oil) are derived from pimento fruits and leaves. Pimento
berry oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried, fully grown, unripe, berrylike
fruits of the pimento shrub, Pimenta dioica (L.) Merr. (Myrtaceae), growing
in the islands of the West Indies and Central America. The main producer of the
oils is Jamaica. Pimento berry oil is a pale yellow to brown liquid with a spicy odor,
reminiscent of eugenol.
d2020 1.027–1.048; n20D 1.5250–1.5400; α20D 5 ° to 0 °; solubility: 1 vol in 2 vol of
70% ethanol at 20 °C; phenol content: min. 65%.
Themajor components of pimento oils are eugenol (up to 75%), 1,8-cineole, and
caryophyllene. Distillation of the leaves gives an oil that has an even
higher content of eugenol (80–90%). Annual production of leaf oil exceeds that of the berry oil.
Pimento oils, similar to the spice, are used mainly in the food industry, as well
as in perfume compositions for creating spicy, clove-like notes.
Chemical Properties
Obtained by steam distillation of the berry. It has a warm, spicy odor and a hot, burning, peppery taste. Allspice oil is affected by light.
Physical properties
The oil is a colorless, yellow or reddish-yellow liquid, which becomes darker with age.
Occurrence
Found in a variety or strain of the parent plant, Pelargonium graveolens, Ait. (Fam. Geraniaceae).

By steam distillation of the fresh plants, harvested at the period of initial bloom.
Definition
Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Pimenta dioica, Myrtaceae.
Manufacturing Process
