Liu Junchen, Zhao Jun. INCREASING ROSE ESSENTIAL OIL YIELDS CAUSED BY 60CO γ-IRRADIATION[J]. Journal of Radiation Research and Radiation Processing, 1989,7(2):57-58.DOI:
The rose essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of rose flower, With this way, rose oil yield is very low, therefore the price of rose essential oil is expensive. A technology of using ,60,Co γ-irradiation to increase essential oil yields has been developed in our laboratory and factory. The yields had been increased over 50%. The main chemical components were identified, and the fragrance of the essential oil was evaluated by specialist. using ,60,Co γ-irradiation, the qualities of rose essential oil are not influenced.
