Oils, lovage

Description:
Oils, lovage, identified by the CAS number 8016-31-7, are essential oils derived from the lovage plant (Levisticum officinale), a perennial herb belonging to the Apiaceae family. These oils are characterized by their strong, aromatic scent, reminiscent of celery and parsley, which is attributed to their complex composition of volatile compounds, including phthalides, terpenes, and various aldehydes. Lovage oil is typically a pale yellow to amber liquid and is known for its culinary and medicinal applications. In culinary uses, it serves as a flavoring agent in soups, stews, and salads, while in traditional medicine, it has been utilized for its potential diuretic and digestive properties. The oil also exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, making it of interest in both food preservation and natural health products. However, due to its potency, it should be used with caution, particularly in concentrated forms, as it may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
