d2020 0.895–0.912; n20D 1.468–1.473; α20D ?40 ° to ?25 °; solubility: 1 vol in
≤10 vol of 90% ethanol.The main constituents are bornyl acetate (20–35%) and the monoterpene hydrocarbons α-pinene (10–22%) and camphene (15–26%). The main producer of Siberian fir needle oil is Russia, with a quantity of ~50 t/yr. | Physical properties | The oil is an almost colorless to very slightly yellow liquid. | Uses | Odorant in perfumery, flavoring agent. | Definition | An essential oil obtained by the steam distillation of needles and twigs of several varieties of coniferous trees (Abies) native to both Canada and Siberia. | Essential oil composition | Main constituents of silver fur needles and twig oil include l-α-pinene, l-limonene, l-bornyl acetate, lauric
and decyclic aldehydes, and probably a sesquiterpene. | Safety Profile | Mildly toxic by
ingestion. A human and experimental skin
irritant. When heated to decomposition it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
