Optical Rotation

The optical rotation of essential oil is , a quick and easy to measure polarimetric quality parameter. It can also be used to distinguish between essential oils and analyze their purity. Essential oils like orange or lemon oil are sometimes referred to by the term volatile oils. They are usually obtained through distillation. These oils are concentrated hydrophobic liquids that extract essential aroma compounds from plants. The optical rotation can be used to characterize their different compositions. These measurements can provide information about the quality and purity of essential oils. Any change in the oil's optimal composition will have an impact on the optical rotation. International pharmacopoeias such as those in the US and Europe require the determination of the optical rotating of essential oils. This is generally done at 25 and 20 degrees Celsius, respectively.

Why Optical Rotation Matters for You

Optical Rotation may sound technical, at its core, this combination of tests is all about making sure an essential oil contains what it is supposed to; that delicate balance of terpene compounds that makes each essential oil unique. This is important because, if an oil doesn’t contain the right constituents and in the right amounts, it might not support your body in the manner that research suggests and that you’re hoping for.
