CLOVE<br>
Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. And Perry (Syn. Eugenia caryophyllus)<br>
Family : Myrtaceae<br>
Description <br>
Clove, small, reddish-brown flower bud of the tropical evergreen tree Syzygium aromaticum of the family Myrtaceae,<br>
was important in the earliest spice trade and believed in indigenous to the Moluccas or Spice Islands (now Maluka),<br>
of Indonesia. The people of the Moluccas used to plant a clove tree to celebrate the birth of a child and would wear<br>
a necklace of cloves as a protection from evil spirit and illness. Strong in aroma and hot and pungent in taste, cloves<br>
are used to flavour many foods, particularly meats and bakery products; in Europe and the USA the spice is<br>
a characteristic flavouring in Christmas holiday fare, such as wassail and mincemeat. The name clove is believed<br>
to be derived from the French word clou meaning nail due to the appearance of this spice. As early as 200 BC, envoys<br>
from Java to the Han-dynasty court of China brought cloves that were customarily held in the mouth to perfume the<br>
breath during audiences with the emperor. During the late Middle ages, cloves were used in Europe to preserve,<br>
flavour, and garnish food. Clove cultivation was almost entirely confined to Indonesia, and in the early 17th century<br>
the Dutch eradicated cloves on all islands except Amboina and Ternate in order to create scarcity and sustain high prices.<br>
In the latter half of the 18th century the French smuggled cloves from the East Indies to Indian Ocean islands and the New<br>
World, breaking the Dutch monopoly.<br>
Cultivation<br>
The clove tree is an evergreen that grows to about 8 to 12 m in height. Its gland-dotted leaves are small,<br>
simple and opposite. The trees are usually propagated from seeds that are planted in shaded areas. Flowering<br>
begins about the fifth year; a tree may annually yield up to 75 pounds (34 kg) of dried buds. The buds, just<br><br>
before the flowers open, are hand-picked in late summer and again in winter and are then sun-dried. The island<br>
of Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania, is the world's largest producer of cloves. Madagascar <br>
and Indonesia are smaller producers. Cloves vary in length from about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (13 to 19 mm). <br>
Cloves contain 14 to 20 percent essential oil, the principal component of which is the aromatic oil eugenol <br>
(70 - 90%). Cloves are strongly pungent owing to eugenol, which is extracted by distillation to yield oil of cloves.<br>
Three essential oils are available from this spice: clove bud oil, clove stem oil and clove leaf oil. Each has<br>
different chemical composition and flavour. Clove bud oil, the most expensive and the best quality product,<br>
contains eugenol (80 - 90%), eugenol acetate (15%) and beta caryophyllene (5 - 12%). <br>
Culinary use <br>
Cloves are ingredients in many classic spice mixtures. Whole cloves are frequently used to flavour<br>
cooking liquids for simmering fish, poultry, game and meat. They feature in classic sauces and are used<br>
in the bakery industry and the processed meats industry as a ground spice. <br>
Medicinal and other use <br>
The clove oil is used to prepare microscopic slides for viewing and is also a local anesthetic<br>
for toothaches. It is a strong antiseptic and preservative. It is used to treat flatulence, colic,<br>
indigestion and nausea. Eugenol is used in germicides, perfumes and mouthwashes, in the synthesis <br>
of vanillin, and as a sweetener or intensifier. <br>
