| Chemical Properties | Tagetes oil is produced by steam distillation of the flowering plants Tagetes
minuta L. (Tagetes glandulifera Schrank., Asteraceae). The main producers
are South Africa and India. The oil is a yellow to dark orange liquid with a strong, aromatic, fruity odor. Its main components are (Z)-ocimene, dihydrotagetone,
C10H18O, (Z)- and (E)-tagetone, C10H16O and (Z)- and (E)-tagetenone, C10H14O.
Tagetes oil is produced just on a scale of some tons annually. It is used in accentuated
floral fragrances and in aroma compositions to achieve fruity effects. | | Chemical Properties | The oil, obtained by steam distillation in approximately 0.3 to 0.4% yields, with an unpleasant, rancid odor and a peppermint-like undertone. The Indian variety (T. patula L.) yields an oil similar to that of calendula with an herbaceous, faintly lavender-like odor; this essential oil is not commercially available. The flowers of T. patula L., co-distilled with sandalwood oil, yield the so-called attar genda, a product employed in perfumery in India. | | Physical properties | The oil is a yellow-reddish liquid. The oil tends to solidify to a gelatinous mass on exposure to light and moisture. | | Definition | Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Tagetes, Compositae | | Essential oil composition | Its main constituents are tegetone (an unstable, unsaturated ketone believed to be responsible for the rancid odor), d-limonene and p-cymene. Other constituents include cis-β-ocimene, dihydrotagetone. |
