Description
Oil of nutmeg is a volatile essential oil intended for laboratory and natural-product work. It carries CAS number 8008-45-5 and EG nr. 282-013-3, with a reported density of 0,895 g/cm³ and a flash point of 42 °C. Supplied in a 50 ml glass container, this nutmeg oil supports analytical, formulation and reference applications where a well-characterised volatile oil is required. The lower flash point underscores the need for careful handling in ventilated laboratory settings, while the UN number 1993 reflects its transport classification. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the essential oils range, the product offers a defined physical profile suitable for comparative studies, sensory evaluation workflows and chemical investigations involving nutmeg-derived volatiles. Laboratories seeking a consistent pack size and documented density and flash-point data will find this 50 ml glass unit practical for routine scientific use.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about Oil of nutmeg, volatile, 50 ml, glass
What is this article?
Oil of nutmeg, volatile, 50 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Essential oils & fragrances, inside Natural products & essential oils, in Lab chemicals.
An essential oil is the volatile fraction distilled or pressed from a named plant part. The species, the chemotype and a stated component, when the seller gives one, are the specification. A fragrance compound is a formulated mixture. The two should not be treated as the same bottle.
A natural product is a molecule extracted from a plant, an animal or a microorganism, or a mixture of those molecules. An essential oil is the volatile fraction. The useful specification is the source species, the plant part and, where it exists, the stated content of a marker compound. Two oils with the same common name are not the same article. Marker compounds are identified on PubChem and named by IUPAC.
