General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
- Lantana fucata is cultivated as an ornamental shrub for landscaping and horticulture in subtropical and tropical regions; the plant is sold by nurseries and garden centres for garden plantings, public parks, and commercial landscaping projects.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
- Leaves and flowering tops are steam‑distilled to obtain an essential oil. The oil contains a high proportion of linalool (≈30–45 % of total volatiles), β‑caryophyllene (≈15–20 %), and geranyl acetate (≈5–10 %). This composition gives the oil a fresh, floral aroma and it is used by the fragrance industry in soaps, detergents, and perfume bases. Commercial specifications typically require a specific gravity of 0.885–0.905 g cm⁻³ at 20 °C and a linalool content of at least 30 %.
Properties relevant to use:
- The leaf surface is densely covered with glandular trichomes that store monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, facilitating efficient steam distillation. The oil’s monoterpene‑rich profile (linalool, geraniol) is responsible for its stability in aqueous formulations and its relatively low volatility at ambient temperature, making it suitable for long‑lasting fragrance applications.
Standards and regulation:
- Essential oil of L. fucata is subject to International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards for permissible use levels in consumer products and must comply with ISO 9235 (Essential oils – General requirements) for physical‑chemical parameters such as relative density, optical rotation, and acid value. Cosmetic use also falls under the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Cosmetic Act and the European Union Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which require disclosure of fragrance ingredients and adherence to maximum permissible concentrations for linalool and related terpenes.
Sustainability and sourcing:
- The species is propagated by vegetative cuttings, allowing consistent quality and rapid scaling of production without dependence on wild populations. Nurseries in Mexico and the southern United States supply horticultural material, and small‑scale essential‑oil production is typically integrated with ornamental cultivation. Sustainable horticultural practices—such as organic fertilization, water‑efficient irrigation, and integrated pest management—are recommended to maintain consistent oil yields and minimise environmental impact.
