| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Styrax oil and styrax resinoid are obtained from styrax balsam, which is collected
fromthe artificially injured trees, Liquidambar orientalis Mill. (Turkey) and
Liquidambar styraciflua L. (Honduras) (Hamamelidaceae).
Styrax resinoid is a light gray to dark gray-brown, viscous liquid that is prepared
by solvent extraction. It has a sweet balsamic, slightly grass-like odor and is used
in perfumery as a fixative.
Steam distillation of the balsam gives styrax oil, a light yellow liquid that contains
a relatively large amount of cinnamic acid, which partially crystallizes.
Styrax oil has a sweet, balsamic odor with a styrene-like top note. It is used in perfumery
in floral compositions. Styrax products are produced only on a very small scale. | [Chemical Properties]
The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the crude resin in approximately 0.5 to 1.0% yields. The oil has a balsamic, sweet, slightly spicy odor. Based on the source, the oils are categorized as Asian (levant oil) storax (L. orientalis) and American storax (L. styraciflua). | [Physical properties]
Both the oils are colorless to pale-yellow liquids. | [Occurrence]
