Manufacturing

  • 1,8-Cineole is extracted exclusively from eucalyptus oils with a high 1,8-cineole content. Various processes are used to separate it from the other terpenes, for example, treatment with H2SO4 in the cold, distillation in the presence of phenols, such as cresols or resorcinol, which form loose addition compounds, or by addition to beta-naphthol. 1,8-Cineole can also be enriched by rectification. The yield is increased by gasification in the presence of a chromium-nickel catalyst.

  • By fractional distillation (170-180 °C) from those essential oils containing high levels of eucalyptol, such as Eucalyptus globulus (approx 60%), and subsequent separation of the product by congealing the distillate.

  • By fractionally distilling eucalyptus oil followed by freezing. The oil is imported from Spain, Portugal, and Austria.

  • Technical-grade 1,8-cineole with a purity of 99.6 - 99.8% is produced in Spain in large quantities by fractional distillation of ... /Eucalyptus globulus Labill. (Family: Myrtaceae)/. A product essentially free from other products can be obtained by crystallization of cineole-rich eucalyptus oil fractions.
