INTRODUCTION
We are all familiar with the pleasant odours
coming out from flowers, spices and many trees. The
essence or aromas of plants are due to volatile oils
present in them. These smelling volatile oils present in
plants are called essential oils. Cinnamon, clove, cumin,
eucalyptus,
garlic,
jasmine,
peppermint,
rose,
sandalwood, spearmint, thyme, wintergreen are a few
familiar examples of valuable essential oils. The term
essential oils literally means oils derived from the
essence of plants. Essential oils are mainly used for their
pleasant odours and flavors in perfumes and as flavoring
agents in foods. Some are used in medicines (e.g.,
camphor, wintergreen, eucalyptus) others as insect
repellants (e.g., citronella).
Chemically essential oils are
composed of complex mixtures of ester, alcohols, phenols,
aldehydes,
ketones
and
hydrocarbons.
They
are
essentially non-polar compounds and are thus soluble in
non-polar solvents such as petroleum ether, benzene etc.
Essential oils may occur in all parts of the plant, but they
are often concentrated in the seeds or flowers. They are
obtained from the plants by the process of steam
distillation and extraction. The technique of steam
distillation permits the separation of volatile components
from
non-volatile
materials
without
raising
the
temperature of the distillation above 100 C. Thus steam
distillation reduces the risk of decomposition of essential
oils.
