Zanimljivosti
A scent similar to that of the champaca plant is said to be emitted by a civet in Sri Lanka, Paradoxurus montanus. The other civets are known to emit very unpleasant odours. A presumably native, isolated population of Magnolia champaca was identified in Yemen in 2021; it is the only member of the Magnoliaceae known on the Arabian Peninsula.
Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
Michelia flower oil is obtained by solvent extraction of fresh flowers. The plant material is first extracted with a hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane to yield a concrete, and the concrete is then extracted with ethanol. The concrete from Magnolia champaca flowers is a solid waxy substance. The ethanol extract is cooled to solidify waxes and cold filtered; when the ethanol evaporates, the absolute is left behind. The flowers must be processed rapidly because only a few hours after picking they turn brown and begin to lose their fragrance. Enfleurage has also been used to collect the aroma compounds from the flowers. In Thailand, the flowers of M. champaca are picked at 2-3 a.m.

U parfemima
Michelia essential oils are characterized by a complex, rich fragrance and remain sought after for the composition of high quality perfumes. Champak flowers have commercial value for the production of perfumes and essential oils. Like other absolutes, champaca absolute is similar to an essential oil but has a higher concentration of aromatic substances and a lower volatility.
