Chemische Eigenschaften
Tarragon oil (estragon oil) is produced by steam distillation of leaves, stems,
and flowers of Artemisia dracunculus L. (Asteraceae). It is a pale yellow to amber
liquid with a characteristic, spicy, delicate estragon odor reminiscent of licorice
and sweet basil. The following specifications refer to tarragon oil obtained from
plants cultivated in Southern France.

Estragole is the main constituent of tarragon oil (68–84%) and primarily
determines the sensory properties.
Worldwide production of tarragon oil only amounts to a few tons per year.
Important producers are, for example, Hungary, Iran, and France. Tarragon oil is
used mainly in flavor compositions, smaller quantities are employed in perfumery.
Physikalische Eigenschaften
The oil is a pale-yellow to amber liquid. It is soluble in most fixed oils and in an equal volume of mineral oil, occasionally becomes hazy on further dilution. It is relatively insoluble in propylene glycol and is insoluble in glycerin.
Occurrence
Found in the plant Artemesia dracunculus L. (Fam. Compositae).
Verwenden
tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is said to have tonic and stimulating properties. Its primary active is estragol, a phenol also known as methyl chavicol. other constituents include cymene and phellandrene.
synthetische
By steam distillation of the leaves, stems and flowers of the plant Artemesia dracunculus L.
Essential oil composition
In general, the oil contains a large amount of terpenes, such as pinene, myrcene, anethole (approximately 10%) and up to 60 to 75% estragole (methyl chavicol).
Sicherheitsprofil
Moderately toxic by ingestion. A skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
