High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis
Overview
Eugenol, also known as 2-Methoxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)phenol, is a colorless to pale yellow, aromatic oily liquid extracted from certain essential oils such as clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil, and bay leaf. It is widely used in various industries due to its pleasant, spicy, clove-like scent.
Uses
Eugenol is used as a flavor or aroma ingredient in teas, meats, cakes, perfumes, cosmetics, flavorings, and essential oils. It also serves as a local antiseptic and anesthetic. In dentistry, eugenol is combined with zinc oxide to form zinc oxide eugenol, which has restorative and prosthodontic applications.
Regulatory
Eugenol is subject to restrictions in perfumery due to potential allergenic reactions. It is also regulated in various household products, including pesticides, pet care, laundry, cleaning, and paper or vehicle products.
Monitoring
Monitoring eugenol levels in various products is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and to avoid potential health risks associated with overexposure.
Health Impact
Human Toxicity
In high doses, eugenol can cause liver toxicity. Symptoms of overdose include hematuria, convulsions, diarrhea, nausea, sedation, hallucinations, delirium, unconsciousness, muscle spasms, respiratory depression, dizziness, tachycardia, and acute kidney injury. N-acetylcysteine may be used to treat eugenol overdose.
Environmental Impact
Effects on Wildlife
