Abstract
Described is a method of chemically increasing the amount of extractable cedarwood oil from Juniperus Mexicana (commonly known as 'Texas cedarwood') by treating standing living Juniperus Mexicana with a solution comprising a bipyridylium salt and permitting said trees to continue to grow in their natural environment for a period of time of at least two months. Portions of the trees are then cut and the cedarwood oil is extracted therefrom using unit operations including, but not limited to, steam distillation, in relatively large yields.
