It is soluble in most fixed oils and mineral oil, slightly soluble in propylene glycol, and practically insoluble in glycerin. The oil has a characteristic turpentine odor and is produced primarily in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, as well as China.

Preparation

By steam-distillation of the leaves (needles) of P. sylvestris L.

Essential oil composition

Main constituents include α- and β-pinene, d- and l-limonene, aldehydes, dl-borneol, alcohols, terpene alcohols, bornyl acetate, phenols and fatty acids.

Composition

The barks were analyzed to biomonitor the pollution by estimating the following inorganic and organic substances: Al, As, B, Ca, Cd, Ce, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mo, NH4 +, Ni, NO3 -, PO4(3)-, Pb, Sr, SO4(2)-, Ti, V, W, Zr, Zn, benzo[a]pyrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, α-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT).* The German oil contains dextro-pinene, d-sylvestrene, cadinene, and probably bornyl- or terpinyl-acetate (about 3.5%).

Toxicity evaluation

Both the acute oral LD50 value in rats and the acute dermal LD50 value in rabbits exceeded 5 g/kg (Levenstein, 1975). The acute oral LD50 for rats was determined by von Skramlik (1959) as 6.88 g/kg body weight, calculated to correspond to approximately 482g/70kg body weight in man.
