zingiber cassumunar rhizomes oil

Zingiber cassumunar rhizomes oil is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation from the rhizomes of the cassumunar ginger plant, scientifically known as Zingiber cassumunar. This oil presents a spicy, rooty scent with a pronounced camphoraceous character. It is also referred to as cassumunar ginger rhizomes oil or plai rhizomes oil. The composition of this oil lends itself to use as a fragrance agent in perfumery and related applications. The sensory experience contributed by this oil is distinct and valued in formulations requiring warm, spicy notes. This essential oil is catalogued in chemical databases such as PubChem, where its chemical and physical data can be accessed. The raw material is sourced from cultivated cassumunar ginger rhizomes, harvested primarily in tropical regions, and processed through controlled steam distillation methods.

Zingiber cassumunar rhizomes oil naturally occurs in the rhizomes of the cassumunar ginger plant. Its application primarily involves use as a fragrance agent in various consumer products, reflecting its distinctive spicy and camphoraceous olfactory attributes. Under the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice, this essential oil is recommended for fragrance use with defined safety parameters, though it is not approved for flavoring purposes. The oil's characteristic odor profile also suggests potential uses in ambient scenting and perfumery components. Traditional knowledge cites occasional employment in topical formulations for symptoms related to bronchitis; however, such uses fall outside regulated cosmetic or flavor contexts. This underscores the oil's main commercial importance as a fragrant material compliant with relevant fragrance industry standards.

Zingiber cassumunar rhizomes oil exhibits solubility traits typical of many essential oils, dissolving readily in alcohol solvents but showing insolubility in water. This characteristic influences its formulation potential, favoring incorporation into alcohol-based fragrance bases or lipophilic matrices rather than aqueous systems. The oil's spicy and camphoraceous odor profile relates to its volatile composition, which is influenced by monoterpenes and other aromatic compounds. These physicochemical properties dictate its handling, storage, and compatibility with other fragrance ingredients. Its volatility contributes to a pronounced aroma release, suitable for perfumery applications where a strong spicy note is desired. No classified hazards have been identified under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910), supporting safe handling under typical use conditions.
