Orange Oil Differences

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Butch...and yes, I am an incurable insomniac but I've learned to use

it to my advantage! ;-)

Are you having trouble sleeping? I have never considered even the finest

Reference Sets (which this is one of) as being worthy of study unless

I was having problems sleeping .. and even then I would prefer to have a

few shots of Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon or a six pack of ice cold Efes

Beer rather than read the reference publication. ;-)

The difference .. or more accurately, the inability of folks to detect

the differences without resorting to GC or GC/MS analysis or olfactory

perception .. are explained in the beginning of the Monograph on Orange.

 

Martin starts with .. " The botany of the orange is an extremely complex

science. As early as 1818, Risso describes 169 different varieties of

citrus fruits and since then numerous cultivars, clones and grafted

stocks have been developed. Due to this, it is highly inaccurate to

attribute a specific botanical variety to orange essential oils.

(Unless) one knows the oils origin is a plantation with botanically

authenticated trees. " UNQUOTE

 

Lemme clarify that by saying that this is more applicable to the Sweet

Orange .. and a tad less so for Wild, Bitter and Blood.

 

> Is one more sought after than another?

 

Yes! But .. it depends on who you ask if you want to know the one that

is most sought after. Is chocolate ice cream more sought after than

strawberry, etc., is where I am heading with this one. I have a good

customer in Oz that would rather fight than switch from the Wild variety.

 

> Any difference in applications?

 

Not really .. though a search might well come up with many extrapolated

or hypothesized differences .. and they will fall back on personal likes

and dislikes even though the writer will probably try to appear to be

knowledgeable of something they know nothing about. Its simply a case

of writers regurgitating material from previously published sources that

likewise did not do their homework.

 

There will be variances in the amount of d-limonene, myrcene, sabinene,

linalool, a-pinene and other minor or trace chemical components. This

will obviously affect the odor so we get back down to which flavor of

ice cream does one prefer.

 

In addition to the odor variable .. there will be slight differences in

the Specific Gravity and Refractive Index .. which means nothing to the

average user .. but it means something to those who are buying a large

supply as they want to ensure they are getting the right one.

 

As for dermal application .. the tested safe percentages are the same.

 

The above does not only apply to Orange .. I could probably answer some

questions regarding Lavenders and Origanums and Thymus and many other EO

using the same words. But when there is a different Chemotype .. I

could not use the above to describe the differences.

 

The best way to deal with the Oranges is to get a sample of different

ones and go with the one(s) that turn you on.

Martin's Monographs are perhaps the finest in existence now .. says all

who have them .. and says me. A total of 354 pages. You can check them
