Botanical name :
Styrax tonkinensis (Pierre) Craib ex Hartwich
Synonyms : Anthostyrax tonkinensis Pierre // Styrax hypoglaucus Perkins
Botanical profile :
Benzoin is a resin gum from trees of the Styracaceae family and the genus Styrax.
Chemotypes :
The Styrax family includes about 130 species found mainly in Southeast Asia or South America.
Two varieties of Benzoin are used in perfumery :
Styrax tonkinensis so called Siam Benzoin Resinoid
Styrax benzoin so called Sumatra Benzoin Resinoid
Sumatra benzoin is more used than the Siam Benzoin because it is spicier and has a softer vanilla scent.
Extraction process :
The benzoin producing trees are about 25 meters high and grow at more than 1500 meters altitude. Farmers start exploiting the trees when they reach the age of 8 for Siam and 25 for Sumatra, lasting about 10 years.
The gum-resin is obtained by a voluntary incision on the barks of the tree. This incision causes the exsudation of a milky resin which solidifies by oxidation when in contact with air. Harvesting is done by scratching the teardrops for a yield of 4 to 6 kg per tree per year.
Finally, the gums are extracted with organic solvent (ethanol) to obtain the resinoid by filtration after glazing (temperature gradient from 140 °F to 32 °F) the liquid.
It is very unusual to obtain an essential oil of benzoin by hydrodistillation.
The benzoin resinoid can be distilled to be bleached, without a great olfactory deterioration.
Other comments :
In some countries, Benzoin is listed as an E906 food additive, but it is not allowed in France.
Stability :
Solubility issues in perfumes
The esters identified in this raw material can form their corresponding acid in stability tests
Not to be used in a candle base, it unlights the fire.
