These ATR/FTIR spectra are of essential oils and food oils. These
spectra are for flavor & fragrance, forensic, and cosmetic
chemists and all scientists interested in the properties of these
essential oils.
The food oils cover commodity oils (soy, corn, olive, canola,
sunflower, etc.) and those used for flavoring (walnut, pumpkin,
avocado, almond, etc.) and other uses.
The essential oils are derived from nuts, seeds, steams, buds,
leaves, flowers, bark, and roots. The samples cover traditional
spices and herbs (peppermint, basil, thyme, etc.) and other plants
known for useful and valuable fragrances (chamomile, cypress,
eucalyptus, juniper, sandalwood, etc.) to less common sources of
plant oils. Botanical samples where obtained from several geographical
regions for many of the materials in the database.
Samples were generated by cold pressing, expeller pressing,
CO2/sCO2 extraction, solvent extraction and steam distillation.
Details associated with each spectrum include the common name, region, latin species name and the oil extraction method.
These single bounce infrared ATR spectra were run on a ZnSe crystal on a Pike MIRacle™.
