Volubility Behaviour and Fractionation of Essential Oils in Dense Carbon Dioxide

The extraction with dense gas proves to be a true alternative to the conventional procedures.

Citronella Oil Fraction

From Payan Bertrand, this oil features a rosy character with a slight citronella accent.

Water-Soluble Fractions of the Essential Oils

Due to the different solubilities, various essential oil components are disproportionately postitioned into the aqueous phase and, hence, the variable polar components are either reduced or lost. Because of this phenomenon, relatively soluble minor components of the oil can escape completely resulting in an unbalanced odor and flavor profile when compared with that of the original plant. Therefore, the water soluble fraction is of importance to both the quantitative and qualitative outcome of the essential oil production.

Aroma Chemicals and Citrus Oils

Natural citrus oils cannot be reconstituted (substituted) by compounding aroma chemicals for three reasons: (1) Citrus oils are complex mixtures, up to 300 chemicals of which many are unknown. (2) If they are known, many are not commercially available. (3) Individual constituents with asymmetric carbon atoms, mostly are optically active, A lot of aroma chemicals are not. On the other hand, aroma chemicals with citrusy odors deserve their own place for compounds in functional perfumery, mainly for stability reasons.

Bulgarian Lavender and Bulgarian Lavender Oil

In spite of the high production costs and the severe competition on the part of some other farm products (such as maize, corn, grapes, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables), Bulgaria succeeded in preserving unchanged one of its national symbols, the Bulgarian Rose Oil.
