Chemische Eigenschaften
Tolu balsam resinoid is produced by extraction of the balsam of M. balsamum
(L.) Harms var. balsamum and M. balsamum (L.) Harms var. genuinum
(Fabaceae), which grow, for example, in Brazil or Venezuela. It is a dark orangebrownmass
with a sweet, resinous, long-lasting odor, reminiscent of hyacinth. An
essential oil is also distilled from the balsam.
Tolu balsam resinoid contains a fairly large amount of benzyl and cinnamyl
esters of benzoic and cinnamic acid.
Both the resinoid and the balsam are used in perfumery, mainly for their fixative
properties.
Physikalische Eigenschaften
The balsam can be steam-distilled, yielding 2 to 7% oil. It is a viscous, pale-yellow to lightorange
oil with a pleasant, sweet, resinous odor reminiscent of hyacinth.

synthetische
By the tapping of the tree. M. balsamum L. Harms (Guenther, 1952).
Sicherheitsprofil
