General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
- Essential oil from the aerial parts (yield 0.9–3.1% depending on origin and method), with the major monoterpenoids perillaldehyde (up to ~70%), limonene, myrtenal, and others; also reported as a source of perillyl alcohol; used in flavor and fragrance compounding.
Industrial and craft applications:
- Bioactive ingredient in insect-repellent and acaricidal products; standardized with GC–FID/GC–MS using ISO-style protocols for essential oil characterization (e.g., gas chromatographic profiling, retention indices).
- Antibacterial/antifungal agent in preservative formulations; evaluated in vitro (e.g., broth microdilution for MIC) with standard test organisms.
- Agricultural uses reported include repellent effects against stored-product insects and nematicidal/fungicidal activity in laboratory screens.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
- Leaves (fresh or dried) used as a culinary herb and flavoring, and as a tea-like beverage in some regions; constituent perillaldehyde contributes characteristic aroma.
Colorants and tanning:
- No documented uses of Mosla cavaleriei as a dye or tannin source.
Wood and fiber:
- No documented timber or fiber applications.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
- Source of perillaldehyde-rich essential oil used in perfumery (as a fragrance material) and flavoring; typically evaluated for safety according to standard IFRA/ISO essential oil guidance in research contexts.
Properties relevant to use:
- Chemistry is dominated by monoterpenoid aldehydes and alcohols (perillaldehyde, perillyl alcohol), with notable limonene and myrtenal; such profiles are characteristic of aromatic Lamiaceae oils used in flavor/fragrance and bioactivity screening.
Standards and regulation:
- Essential oil composition and safety evaluation generally follow general aroma-chemical standards (e.g., ISO flavor/fragrance standards) rather than plant-specific codes.
Sustainability and sourcing:
- Currently wild-collected in China; increased demand would require agronomic development or cultivation to reduce overharvesting pressure.
