8015-01-8 Usage
Chemical Properties
Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 8015-01-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Marjoram oil (sweet marjoram oil) is obtained by steam distillation of the herb
Origanummajorana L. (Majorana hortensis Moench, Lamiaceae). It is a yellow to
greenish-yellow liquid with a characteristic earthy, spicy odor.
d2525 0.890–0.906; n20D 1.4700–1.4750; α20D +14 ° to +24 °; acid number: max. 2.5;
saponification number: 23–40; saponification number (after acetylation) 68–86;
solubility: 1 vol in 2 vol of 80% ethanol.
The main constituent of the oil is 1-terpinen-4-ol (>20%), which with (+)-cissabinene
hydrate (3–18%) is responsible for the characteristic flavor
and fragrance of marjoram oil.
Sweetmarjoram oil is produced on a relatively small scale, for example, in Egypt,
and is used mainly for flavoring foods, but also in smaller amounts in perfumery
for spicy shadings in men’s fragrances.
2. The oil is obtained by steam distillation with yields of usually less than 0.3%. It has a spicy and cardamom note.
Physical properties
Marjoram, sweet oil is a yellow or greenish-yellow oil. The oil is soluble in most fixed oils (with
turbidity in mineral oil). It is partly soluble in propylene glycol and insoluble in glycerin.
Uses
Soap perfume and in toilet preparations. The
Spanish grade is used as a flavoring ingredient.
Definition
A yellowish essential oil, optically active.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 8015-01-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 8,0,1 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 8015-01:
(6*8)+(5*0)+(4*1)+(3*5)+(2*0)+(1*1)=68
68 % 10 = 8
So 8015-01-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
