Use
Palmarosa oil is obtained by steam distillation of wild or cultivated Cymbopogonmartinii
(Roxb.) J.F.Wats., collected when in blossom. It is a pale yellow
liquid with a characteristic rose-like odor and a grassy note.
d2020 0.880–0.894; n20D 1.4710–1.4780; α20D +1.4 ° to +3 °; solubility: 1 vol in
2 vol of 70% ethanol at 20 ℃; ester number (after acetylation): 255–280, corresponding
to a total alcohol content of 80–95%, free alcohol content (calculated
as geraniol): 72–94%. High-grade palmarosa oil may contain up to
95% geraniol and its esters; it is produced in smaller quantities
than other oils obtained from aromatic grasses (～100 t/yr mainly in India).
Palmarosa oil is the starting material for geraniol and geranyl esters of high
odor quality, but it is also used for perfuming soaps and cosmetics.
