Appearance

Cajuput Oil is a colorless, pale yellow, greenish or turquoise-colored, mobile liquid.

Odor

powerful, fresh, eucalyptuslike, camphoraceous odor and a burning-aromatic taste. Characteristic are the almost fruity-sweet body notes and the soft tones in the dryout.

Flavor

burning-aromatic taste.

Uses in perfumery

Cajuput Oil has found very little use in Europe and America. Its main constituents are identical to those of the pharmaceutical eucalyptus oils; thus, cajuput oil does not present any advantages over eucalyptus, save for the slightly milder-sweeter odor and flavor.

Uses in flavor

In throat lozenges, gargles, etc., where the oil is often used in combination with other flavoring materials.

Production

steam distillation
