Essential Oils and Microwave Extracts of Cultivated Plants

We have used these two methods to treat different cultivated plants: five Umbelliferae, one Compositae and seven Labiatae. There is a double purpose for this approach. First, we want to determine the advantages and disadvantages of this technique in terms of research. Secondly, we intend to make appropriate comparisons between microwave extracts and essential oils coming from the aerial part of these plants.

Investigating New Essential Oils: Rationale, Results and Limitations

Research in new essential oils may provide benefits (missing aroma notes, new sources of isolates, new chiral compounds), but it must reassert its originality and vigor and it must recognize the constraints of economics and regulations.

Enantiomeric Distribution of Oxygenated Monoterpenes in Some Mentha Essential Oils

In this research we analyzed chiral oxgenated monoterpenes, which are the predominant and most valuable monoterpenes in Mentha oils.This technique enables us to determine the enantiomeric purities of other components in the oils, such as monoterpene hydrocarbons and sesquiterpenes

Development of instrumental analytical methods for essential oils and aroma chemicals

The ultimate purpose of our products and the reason for our industry, to provide consumers with products which please their taste or smell, today and for generations to come has not changed. Safety has always been and will continue to be our most fundamental concern. We are known to respond to problems long before government regulations can be or have to be enacted. Our technology points toward a bright future for the fragrance and flavor industry.
