Cedar Wood Oil — Analyses and Properties

  • Chapter

Part of the Modern Methods of Plant Analysis book series (MOLMETHPLANT,volume 12)

Abstract

Cedarwood oil is an important natural product for components used directly in fragrance compounding or as a source of raw components in the production of additional fragrance compounds. The oil is used to scent soaps, technical preparations, room sprays, disinfectants, and similar products, as a clearing agent for microscope sections, and with immersion lenses (Guenther 1952).
