DESCRIPTION

Clove Stem Oil occurs as a yellow to light brown liquid with a sharp, spicy odor and taste. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the dried stems of the buds of Eugenia caryophyllata Thunberg (Eugenia aromatica L. Baill.) (Fam. Myrtaceae). It is soluble in fixed oils and in propylene glycol, but it is relatively insoluble in glycerin and in mineral oil.
