Progress in Essential Oils: Sweet Fennel Oil and Extract

In this column, Brian M. Lawrence reviews the composition of sweet fennel oil and extract as found by various researchers. For example, a commercial sample of sweet fennel oil was screened for its anti-platelet activity by Tognolini et al. (2006) and Guerini et al. (2006) using GC-FID and GC/MS. Results are reported herein.

F&F Literature Review: Natural Progression in Extraction, Production and Research

A brief look at the literature gives some indication of health and wellness drivers, including natural extraction, production and modification processes; authentication techniques; and even biometric efficacy research.

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.

Supercritical fluids for extraction of flavors and fragrances from natural products

The applications discussed in this article have been limited only to flavor and fragrance extraction. It should be noted that supercritical fluid extraction has a much wider range of applications. It can compete directly with two widely used separation process--distillation and solvent extraction.
