Botanique :
Myrtle is a shrub belonging to the Myrtaceae family (such as clove, eucalyptus or pepper) and to the genus myrtus.
Chemotypes :
Two chemotypes exist,
One with Eucalyptol (Green Myrtle HE) - Available in Tunisia, France (Corsica) and Lebanon
The other with Myrtenyl Acetate (Red Myrtle HE) - Available in Morocco and Yugoslavia
Beware, the name Lemon Myrtle does not botanically correspond to a species of the genus Myrtus, but rather to Backhousia citriodora. (Still in the Myrtaceae but nothing to do with Myrtus)
Extraction process :
This essential oil is obtained through hydrodistillation of the branches and twigs of the shrub. These are harvested between May and June of each year.
The extraction process results in a yield between 2 and 3% (about 1kg of EO for 800kg of plants) for a duration of about 1h30.
Myrtle essential oil needs to be rectified.
Hydrolat possible, used especially in aromatherapy.
Geographic origin :
Data not available.
