Technical Details & Test Data
- Chemical Profile & Chemotypes
Because of its high Alpha-Pinene and Delta-3-Carene content, this oil is prone to oxidation. Therefore it is recommended to be stored in a dark, airtight container in a refrigerator, and the addition of anti-oxidant to preparations containing it.
The key compounds for Cypress oil are the following:
- Alpha Thujene: 0.8 - 1.5%
- Alpha Pinene: 40 - 65%
- Beta Pinene: 0.5 - 3%
- Delta-3-Carene: 12 - 25%
- Limonene: 1.8 - 5%
- Germacrene D: 0.5 - 3%
- Alpha Terpinyl Acetate: 1 - 4%
- Terpinen-4-ol: 0.2 - 2%
- Cedrol: 0.8 - 7%
We should control the minimum values of Alpha Thujene and Germacrene D in order to discard possible additions of Turpentine fractions and/or other adulterants.
