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.

Pink Pepper Fruit and Leaf Oils

This month's column discusses the chemical composition of pink pepper fruit and leaf oils.

Thoughts On Aroma Chem Essential cals for Oils and Flavors and Fragrances

The ultimate goal of the flavor and fragrance industry is to improve the quality of life through production and focused application of flavors and fragrances. In order to do this, one must first understand the basic role of smell and taste in life. This means investing in research into the science of smell and taste

Transforming arid tropical savannahs into vast forests of noble sandalwood: essential oils are also an economic driver for sustainable reforestation.

Essential Oils and Forest Extracts: Complex, Unique and Vulnerable Industries Facing EU Green Deal

The implementation of the European Green Deal must consider the complexity and fragility of the essential oils industry.

Stability of Citral-Containing and Citralless Lemon Oils in Flavor Emulsions and Beverages

The storage stability of lemon oil treated to remove citral has not been reported. This investigation was conducted to compare the stabilities of citral-containing and citralless lemon emulsions (EC and ECL) and beverages (BC and BCL) during storage at different temperatures by both gas chromatographic and sensory analyses.

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.

New Technologies for the High- Speed Characterization and Analysis of Essential Oils

The difficulties in [essential oil] analyses arise from the large number of components, many of them present at low concentrations

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.

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.

Comparative Investigations of the Essential Oil and Volatiles of Spearmint

The objective of this work is to identify the fragrance compounds of this oil and its SPME-headspace by means of gas chromatographic- spectroscopic (GC and GC/MS using different polar and chiral phases) and olfactoric methods (GC-sniffing technique and olfactory correlations) to find out the importance of each single constituent with their specific odor attributes, responsible for the characteristic and pleasant spearmint aroma for the first time.

Citrus essential oils face a number of issues that can alter their composition or quality from season to season and even within a given season.

Essential Oils and Citrus Blends: Maintaining Quality Amidst Rising Costs and Adulteration

Discover the innovative strategies and testing techniques they are adopting to ensure that every drop meets the highest standards, even in a volatile market.

Pattern Recognition Methods for Discrimination of Essential Oils (Rose Oils) by Their Gas Chromatograms

It is possible to distinguish between essential oils of the same type and their mixtures by analysing their gas chromatograms using a pattern recognition method.

Progress in Essential Oils: Lemon Verbena Oil

This month's column discusses the chemical composition of lemon verbena oil.

A New Method of Separation of Citral from Lemongrass Oil

Although many methods are known for the separation of citral from lemongrass (Cymbopogen flexuosus) oil, like fractional distillation, adduct formation and regeneration, the purity and the yield of citral as separated are not satisfactory. A new method for separation of citral in pure form and in near quantitative yield uses the column chromatographic technique. This method may also be adapted for large scale separation of citral and hence can be of commercial importance.
