grosso lavandin oil

Grosso lavandin oil is a floral and herbal essential oil distilled from the flowering herbs of Lavandula hybrida grosso.

General Material Description

Grosso lavandin oil is a volatile essential oil derived from steam distillation of the flowering herbs of the Lavandula hybrida grosso plant, a hybrid variety within the Lamiaceae family. It typically presents as a pale yellow to greenish-yellow liquid exhibiting a fresh, floral aroma with herbal and slightly camphorous notes. This oil is synonymous with terms such as lavandin essential oil grosso and lavandin oil grosso france. Due to its complex composition, which is characterized by constituents like linalool and linalyl acetate, it plays an important role in fragrance and flavor industries. Products distilled from Lavandula hybrida grosso link to controlled-vocabulary entries such as PubChem. The oil is mainly sourced from cultivated lavandin fields predominantly found in France and Spain where the hybrid is grown for commercial essential oil extraction.

Occurrence, Applicability & Potential Uses

Grosso lavandin oil is botanically obtained from the flowering herbs of the species Lavandula hybrida grosso. This hybrid plant, combining features of true lavender and spike lavender, occurs primarily through cultivation in temperate European regions. Its primary applications are as a flavor and fragrance agent, valued for imparting floral and herbal notes to various products. The oil is utilized in perfuming agents and flavoring compositions, contributing to aromatic blends such as alpine bouquet, amber, and floral fragrances. Compliance with IFRA (International Fragrance Association) Global standards guides its use in cosmetic formulations to ensure safe exposure levels. Additionally, FEMA (US) recognizes the oil with FEMA number 2618 as acceptable for flavoring. Commonly, it is incorporated into products requiring fresh lavender scents or herbal accords.

Physico-Chemical Properties Summary

Grosso lavandin oil exhibits a typical flash point around 65°C (149°F), indicating moderate volatility and flammability under elevated temperatures. It is soluble in alcohol and has limited solubility in water, approximately 683.7 mg/L at 25°C, with some constituents being insoluble, which affects formulation approaches. Proper storage in tightly sealed containers away from heat and light extends its shelf life beyond 12 months, preserving its aromatic integrity. The oil's physicochemical profile, including its odor threshold and solvent compatibility, influences its application in fragrances and flavors, necessitating antioxidant additions such as 0.1% BHT or alpha-tocopherol during production to mitigate peroxide formation. These attributes guide its handling and blending in product development.

FAQ

What is grosso lavandin oil and what are its main characteristics?
Grosso lavandin oil is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the flowering herbs of Lavandula hybrida grosso, a hybrid lavender species. It presents a fresh floral and herbal aroma containing compounds like linalool and linalyl acetate. The oil appears as a pale yellow to greenish-yellow liquid widely used in fragrance and flavor applications.
How is grosso lavandin oil sourced and where does it commonly occur?
This oil is sourced from cultivated Lavandula hybrida grosso plants grown mainly in European regions such as France and Spain. The hybrid was developed from true lavender and spike lavender species and does not commonly occur in the wild. Essential oils are extracted primarily via steam distillation of the flowering aerial parts of the plant.
What are the regulatory considerations and safety information for grosso lavandin oil?
Grosso lavandin oil is regulated under standards such as IFRA (Global), which defines usage limits in fragrances to reduce sensitization risks. It is classified as an irritant (Xi) with safety precautions advised for eye, skin, and respiratory protection. FEMA (US) provides a flavoring identification number 2618, and it is recognized as generally safe when used within recommended exposure levels. Proper storage and handling mitigate degradation and potential hazards.
