Use：
(1)
It
is stipulated in Chinese "Hygienic Standards for Food Additives
in Use"（GB
2760-1996）that,
appropriate dosage of the matter can be applied in confecting
varieties of foodstuff flavoring essence. And the product is
especially suitable for confecting Orange foodstuff essence and
spices and herbs.
(2) Stipulated in FEMA, the highest reference dosage of the
matter employed in different foodstuff is respectively as follows:
In soft drink, 1.0~21㎎/㎏；in
ice cream and other edible ice foodstuff，1.0~84㎎/㎏；in candy，7.0~63㎎/㎏；in baked and toasted，7.0㎎/㎏.
(3)
It has been stated in relevant resources that, Terpinenol-4
has strong effects of disinfection, sterilization and
antisepsis. It can be a natural sanitizing antiseptic, which is
extremely helpful to treat many kinds of illness and hurts, for
example cut, bruise, insect bites, Acne, Burns, Vagina Infection,
Tinea, etc.. It is also
employed in the air condition system to control bacteria and mildew.
Because
the oil of Cajeput
contains 35% of Terpinenol-4, the oil of
Cajeput is extensively used in make-up products, toilet commodity
and farrier commodity in Australia. For example, oil of Cajeput is commonly
sold in Australian Pharmacy, drugstore and supermarket. The density
of the Terpinenol-4 is about 15%, and consumers employ the
commodity directly as disinfector. As reported in relevant
information, during World War Two, the oil of Cajeput was provided to
soldiers for healing skin hurt.
In
the past one to two decades, relevant people have carried out
comprehensive research on the biologic activity of oil
of Cajeput, and a
large number of valuable articles and issues have been released. In 1999,
the Harwood Academic
Publishing Company published
the 9th volume of “Med.Aromat
Plants-Ind.Profiles”，in
which oil of Cajeput was specially
discussed. The compounds, biologic activity and use of the oil of
Cajeput were
expoundingly generalized.
All
the researches have indicated that the Terpinenol-4
in the oil
of Cajeput
has the properties of disinfection, sterilization and antisepsis,
which can effectively control many ubiquitous nosogenetic bacteria
and mildew.
