On the Wadi Ratnagiri Mountain near Kolhapur, home of Shri Jotiba, davana is used exclusively as an offering to this deity at the temple. Davana is rarely used in cooking, though in India it is sometimes added to herbal teas for flavor.
Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering top. The plants should be harvested when about 50% of them have come to the flowering stage, usually at the end of February or in the first week of March. Harvesting is done by cutting the plants from the base. The harvested material is dried under shade for 2 days before distillation. The flower heads contribute the major portion of the oil. An average recovery of around 0.2% under large-scale distillation, yielding 12-13 kg of oil per hectare, may be considered satisfactory.

U parfemima
Davana oil is used in making perfumes of sweet and fruity fragrances. It is used at the heart of yellow fruity accords, in liqueur reconstitutions and as a top note in fruity-floral perfumes. Perfumery and flavor industries demand oil rich in davanone, of more than 50%. A high davanone content may enhance the overall aroma of the oil, perhaps because of its fixative property. In the international trade, particularly in the USA and Japan, the oil is used for flavouring cakes, pastries, tobacco and beverages.
