Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
Combava oil is one among a few of the Citrus family to be obtained from the leaves of the plant and not from the fruit. In order to obtain it, it is necessary to make a hydrodistillation of the leaves. It usually takes at least four months between plantation and first harvest, then it is possible every six months. Leaves are generally of better quality during the rainy season.
It is important to note that Combava leaves are mainly intended to be sold in traditional markets to be used as spices or for its medicinal properties. Only a small part of the global production is destined to be transformed into essential oil. When it is the case, leaves are steam distilled for about 6-7 hours, with a yield of about 0.5-0.6%.
Uses in perfumery :
Ingredient very rarely used but when it does, it's in fresh, tonic and hesperidic notes. Often associated with other citrus fruits to nuance its citronellal facets. Interesting in rose tones.
Stability :
Quite stable but can oxydize
Major Components :
- Citronnellal (45 - 85%)
- DL-Acetate de citronellyle (5 - 20%)
- Citronnellol (5 - 15%)
- Linalol (3 - 5%)
