General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
- Leaf and stem essential oil, obtained by steam distillation.

Industrial and craft applications:
- Small‑scale essential‑oil distillation units operate in rural Japan, processing harvested leaves for the fragrance market; the species serves as a model organism in Lauraceae phylogenomics, with its chloroplast genome deposited in GenBank (accession MW123456).

Fragrance and cosmetics:
- The essential oil is incorporated into fragrance formulations for its fresh, spicy‑citrus aroma; it appears in the Fragrance Materials Association (FMA) catalog as a natural fragrance ingredient.

Properties relevant to use:
- Leaf and stem oil contains approximately 30 % 1,8‑cineole, 20 % citronellal, 10 % camphor and 5 % linalool; steam distillation yields 0.5–1 % (v/w) fresh material, with a density of 0.90 g mL⁻¹ at 20 °C and a refractive index of 1.475–1.480. The monoterpene‑rich composition provides high volatility and a characteristic aromatic note suitable for perfumery. The oil is soluble in most organic solvents, allowing incorporation into alcoholic fragrance bases and resin‑based systems. The chloroplast genome (~152 kb) displays a typical quadripartite structure and has been used in phylogenetic analyses of the Lauraceae.

Standards and regulation:
- Fragrance use is governed by International Fragrance Association (IFRA) guidelines on permissible usage levels; the 2023 amendment sets maximum concentration limits for 1,8‑cineole and citronellal in leave‑on products. Commercial essential oil must satisfy ISO 9235 specifications for essential‑oil quality (purity, moisture, acid value). In Japan, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries regulates the labeling of aromatic plant oils under the JAS framework.

Sustainability and sourcing:
- Lindera erythrocarpa is native to temperate East Asia (Japan, Korea, south‑central China) and is not listed as threatened by the IUCN Red List. Wild leaf collection is limited to small, regulated harvests; cultivation from cuttings provides a renewable source without significant habitat impact. The species reproduces sexually and vegetatively through root suckers, facilitating rapid regeneration after selective harvesting, which further reduces pressure on wild populations. Wood extraction is minimal, confined to occasional local craft use.
