Botanical source

Jasminum sambac is a tropical Asian shrub with small white flowers. National flower of the Philippines (sampaguita) and one of three national flowers of Indonesia (melati).

Although in the same genus as jasmine grandiflorum, the chemistry is markedly different, sambac is farnesene and indole-rich, grandiflorum is benzyl acetate-rich.

Main products: absolute (solvent extraction) and hydrodistilled oil. Indian hydrodistilled oil is benzyl acetate, (3Z)-hexen-1-yl benzoate and linalool-rich.

Family Oleaceae.
