Extract from Damascus roseROSE ESSENTIAL OIL ROSEESSENTIAL OIL Manufacturer:Pioneer Herb Industrial Co., Ltd ROSE ESSENTIAL OIL DescriptionROSE ESSENTIAL OIL , meaning either rose otto (attar of rose, attar of roses) or rose absolute, is the essential oilextracted fromthe petals ofvarious types of rose. Rose ottos are extracted through steamdistillation,while rose absolutes are obtained through solventextraction or supercritical carbondioxide extraction, with theabsolute being used more commonlyin perfumery. Evenwith their high price and the advent of organicsynthesis, rose oils are stillperhaps the most widely used essential oil inperfumery. ROSE ESSENTIAL OIL informationIt is astrong smelling oil with a floral aroma and a hint of mint, andwhen extracted from the Odorantissimum plant has a slight appleundertone, whereas the Graveolens oil has a rosieraroma. Thisfresh ROSE ESSENTIAL OIL has afirm place in aromatherapy, as it helps to balance the mind andemotions, while stimulating the adrenal cortex and balancing thehormonal system and stimulating the lymphatic system. On the otherhand, it balances the production of sebum in the skin, whilekeeping it supple and helping with the healing ofwounds. Rosadamascena, the damask rose, whichis widely grown in Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia, Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan, Iranand China the key flavor compounds that contribute to thedistinctive scent of 100 PURE ROSEOIL , however,are beta-damascenone, beta-damascone, beta-ionone,and rose oxide. Beta-damascenone presence and quantity is considered asthe marker for the quality of rose oil. Even though these compoundsexist in less than 1% quantity of rose oil, they make up forslightly more than 90% of the odor content due to theirlow odor detection thresholds. ROSEESSENTIAL OIL Distillation
In theprocess of distillation, large stills, traditionallyof copper, are filled with roses and water. The still isfired for 60–105 minutes. The vaporized water and rose oil exit thestill and enter a condensing apparatus and are then collected in aflask. This distillation yields a very concentrated oil, directoil, which makes up about 20% of the final product. The water whichcondenses along with the oil is drained off and redistilled, cohobation, in order to obtain the water-soluble fractions ofthe rose oil such as phenethyl alcohol which are a vitalcomponent of the aroma and which make up the large bulk, 80%, ofthe oil. The two oils are combined and make the final roseotto.
Roseotto is usually dark olive-green in color and will form whitecrystals at normal room temperature which disappear whenthe oil is gently warmed. It will tend to becomemore viscous at lower temperatures due tothis crystallization of some of itscomponents.
Theessence has a very strong odor, but is pleasant when dilutedand used for perfume. Attar of roses was once made inIndia, Persia, Syria, and the Ottoman Empire.The Rose Valley in Bulgaria, near the townof Kazanlak, is among the major producers of attar of roses inthe world.
Due tothe heat required for distillation, some of the compounds extractedfrom the rose undergo denaturing or chemical breakdown.As such, rose otto does not smell very similar to "fresh"roses.
The hydrosol portionof the distillate is known as rosewater. This inexpensiveby-product is used widely as a food flavoring as well asin skin care.
ROSE ESSENTIAL OIL Adulteration
It takesmany pounds ofrose petals todistill one ounce of essential oil. Depending on extraction methodand plant species, the average yield can range from 1:1500 to1:10000. To mitigatethe cost, some dishonest dealerswill dilute roseoil with geranium (Pelargoniumgraveolens)or Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) essential oils, both of which are richin geraniol, the mainconstituent of rose oil. Some of these ''rose oils'' are up to 90%geranium or palmarosa to 10% rose. This is referred toas extending the Rosefragrance. This may be done to compensate for chemotype, e.g.Bulgarian distilled Rose oil is naturally low in phenylethanol, andUkrainian or Russian rose oil is naturally high inphenylethanol.
