d2020 1.039–1.049; n20D 1.5280–1.5350; phenol content: min. 80%, for
Indonesian origin 78%; content by GC: eugenol 80–92%, caryophyllene 4–17%, eugenol acetate 0.2–1%. | [Physical properties]
Freshly distilled oil is yellow, but turns dark violet after aging in iron containers. It is soluble in
propylene glycol and in most fixed oils, with slight opalescence. It is relatively insoluble in glycerin and in mineral oil. | [Essential oil composition]
