Many workers, however, are finding applications for its unique properties and stabilizing ability. In such cases it is cost effective.

Orange blossom

Orange blossoms are the flowers from the bitter orange tree, Citrus Aurantium Linnaeus. Originating in China, the bitter orange tree was probably introduced to southern France somewhere between the tenth and eleventh centuries AD byt the conquering Arabs. It remained the only orange known to Europeans for about five centuries.

Bulgarian Zdravetz Oil

Some of the components of an essential oil have opened the way to the discovery of new groups of compounds with unusual chemical behavior. Our subject, zdravetz (Geranium macrorrhizum L,), belongs to the Geraniaceae family, which abounds in aromatic plants including the genus Pelargonium. It originates from South Africa and is widespread along the Mediterranean coast. Large quantities of pelargonium oil, incorrectly known as “geranium oil,” are produced from different varieties of Pelargonium roseum L. Of the genus Geranium, only zdravetz is used in Bulgaria for production of essential oil and aromatic extracts.
