Botanical informations
Botanical name :
Styrax tonkinensis (Pierre) Craib ex Hartwich
Synonyms : Anthostyrax tonkinensis Pierre // Styrax hypoglaucus Perkins
Botanical profile :
Benzoin is a resin gum from trees of the Styracaceae family and the genus Styrax L.
Chemotypes :
The genus Styrax L. includes around 160 species, mostly found in Southeast Asia and South America.
Two types of benzoin resinoids are used in perfumery:
- Styrax tonkinensis (Pierre) Craib ex Hartwich : Benzoin resinoid, Siam
- Styrax benzoin Dryand., Benzoin resinoid, Sumatra
More widely used, Benzoin resinoid, Sumatra has a spicier and less vanillic scent profile compared to Siam.
Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
The benzoin producing trees are about 25 meters high and grow at more than 1500 meters altitude. Farmers start exploiting the trees when they reach the age of 8 for Siam and 25 for Sumatra, lasting about 10 years.
The gum-resin is obtained by a voluntary incision on the barks of the tree. This incision causes the exsudation of a milky resin which solidifies by oxidation when in contact with air. Harvesting is done by scratching the teardrops for a yield of 4 to 6 kg per tree per year.
Finally, the gums are extracted with organic solvent (ethanol) to obtain the resinoid by filtration after glazing (temperature gradient from 140 °F to 32 °F) the liquid.
It is very unusual to obtain an essential oil of benzoin by hydrodistillation.
The benzoin resinoid can be distilled to be bleached, without a great olfactory deterioration.
Uses in perfumery :
Used in oriental, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, exotic-ylang and tuberose notes for a warm and enveloping effect.
Stability :
Solubility issues in perfumes
The esters identified in this raw material can form their corresponding acid in stability tests
Not to be used in a candle base, it unlights the fire.
Major Components :
- Coniferyl benzoate (70 - 75%)
- Benzoic acid and other acids (≈20%)
- Vanillin (≈1%)
- Plotter(s) :
- Ethoxy Coniferol (or Coniferyl Ethyl Ether) (≈2%)
