Heterocyclic Trace Components in the Essential Oil of Coriander

The essential oil of coriander is obtained from the dried fruits of the plant Coriandrum sativum L, belonging to the family Apiaceae. It is marked by a very high percentage of linalool (approximately 70%), but the olfactory note of this monoterpene tertiary alcohol—when isolated by distillation—is quite different from the one of the purely synthetic counterpart.

Modern technology, from the time of Robert Boyle (1627-91), father of modern chemistry, is relatively familiar. But the fifteen centuries from the first century A.D. until Boyle, when many of the first efforts were made to develop the science and tools used today, tell a story that if unfamiliar, though fascinating.
