Ravensara Oil or Ravintsara Essential Oil

What is the Genus Species? Cinnamomum camphora. Please note the change!

Why is this Information Important? There are several species of Ravensara that are mostly grown in Madagascar. Botanists have now identified that most of the Madagascar oil is Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora), not Ravensara aromaticum.

They are similar trees but Ravintsara is not an original species. It was introduced from Asia in the 19th century and adopted very efficiently to the new climate. So much so that it is a very ecologically sustainable species for sourcing, unlike Ravensara which is becoming an endangered species.

Ravintsara oil tested by GC-MS reveals that 1,8-cineol eucalyptol) is the main constituent not methyl chavicol (estragole). Ravintsara oil contains over 50% eucalyptol!

Also, there are oils taken from the bark which can contain up to 90% methyl chavicol. The oil from the leaf contains 48-61% 1, 8 cineole.

Where is the Name Derived From? Ravensara comes from a Malagasy word "ravintsara".

Why is this Information so Important? Its not, it's just a fun fact!

What Part of the Plant is Used? Leaves

What is the ORAC Value? 890 µTE/100g

What Does this Number Mean? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item. This was developed by the USDA researchers. For instance: Blueberries = 2,400; Clove = 1,078,700. Wow! The number for clove is NOT a typo!
