Widespread in the tropics, the sapote tree is a member of the Sapotaceae family. Its fruit, the sapote or "mamey sapote" as it is known in some regions, is a large oval fruit with brown skin and pink-orange flesh. It weighs up to 2 kg. Thanks to its sweet, pumpkin-like flavour and high nutritional value, it is often eaten raw. The flesh contains a single large, hard kernel from which sapote oil is extracted. This oil has a distinctive almond-like smell. Rich in fatty acids, sapote oil is traditionally used in Santo Domingo for hair growth and to make conditioning products.

Essential Oils

1 ml = approximately 35 drops (with our Aroma-Zone dropper caps)

Carrier oils

1 pump (Aroma-Zone aluminium pump) = approx. 0.15 ml

Mass / Volume conversion (for a liquid)

Mass (g) = Density x Volume (ml) at 20°C

Further information

1 full teaspoon = between 3 and 4.5 ml

1 full tablespoon = between 7.5 and 10 ml

However, these spoon ratios depend on a number of factors (e.g. viscosity of the liquid, temperature, depth and size of the spoon, rheological behaviour of the liquid), and we strongly advise you to use precise measuring equipment, such as graduated test tubes, graduated pipettes, and precision scales.
