The probable lethal dose of pure eucalyptus oil for an adult is in the range of 0.05 mL to 0.5 mL/per kg of body weight. [17] Because of their high body-surface-area-to-mass ratio, children are more vulnerable to poisons absorbed transdermally. Severe poisoning has occurred in children after ingestion of 4 mL to 5 mL of eucalyptus oil. [18]
Eucalyptus oleosa, commonly known as the red mallee, glossy-leaved red mallee, acorn mallee, [2] oil mallee [3] or giant mallee, [4] is a tree or mallee that is native to Australia. The leaves were once harvested for the production of cineole based eucalyptus oil . [ 5 ]
E. globulus is the primary source of global eucalyptus oil production, with China being the largest commercial producer. [30] [31] The oil has therapeutic, perfumery, flavoring, antimicrobial and biopesticide properties. [32] [33] [34] Oil yield ranges from 1.0 to 2.4% (fresh weight), with cineole being the major isolate.
Some statistics on this page are disputed and controversial—different sources (OPEC, CIA World Factbook, oil companies) give different figures. Some of the differences reflect different types of oil included. Different estimates may or may not include oil shale, mined oil sands or natural gas liquids.
Eucalyptol (also called cineole) is a monoterpenoid colorless liquid, and a bicyclic ether. [1] It has a fresh camphor-like odor and a spicy, cooling taste. [1] It is insoluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents. Eucalyptol makes up about 70–90% of eucalyptus oil.
OPEC+, the oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia, has also said it will unwind its 2.2 million barrel-a-day production cuts, which have put pressure on supply over the past few years. The group could ...
It is grown in plantations for the production of cineole based eucalyptus oil. [11] On Kangaroo Island, there were over 100 stills for the production of eucalyptus oil from the narrow-leaf mallee, however, the distillation industry went into decline after the 1930s due to the greater profitability of sheep farming.
