DESCRIPTION

Cubeb Oil occurs as a colorless or light green to blue-green liquid with a spicy odor and a slightly acrid taste. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the mature, unripe, sun-dried fruit of the perennial vine Piper cubeba L. (Fam. Piperaceae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil, but it is insoluble in glycerin and propylene glycol.
