characteristic, aromatic odor and taste.

1.5 vol of 85% ethanol; acid value: max. 2–16; ester value 170–260.
The main constituent of the leaf oil is α-terpinyl acetate, while the main constituent
and odor-determining component of the root oil is ligustilide
(3-butylidene-4,5-dihydrophthalide).
The oils are produced on a relatively small scale, for example, in Hungary, and
are mainly used in the alcoholic beverage industry and for flavoring of tobacco;
small amounts are also used in perfumery.
