Description

Explore the deep history and scientific makeup of essential oils in this comprehensive research volume. From the ancient practices of China, India, and the Middle East to modern chemical analysis, this book provides a detailed look at how these substances have been used in cooking, cosmetics, medicine, and religious rituals since antiquity. Learn about the biological origins of essential oils, which stem from the secondary metabolism of plants. The text explains how these volatile, lipophilic substances function in nature to defend against microorganisms and predators or to attract pollinators. This book covers the complex mixtures of biologically active substances that define these oils, specifically focusing on their status as derivatives of terpene compounds. Designed for those interested in organic chemistry and plant science, this work bridges the gap between historical application and modern chemical research. It offers a clear understanding of the chemical composition and the various medicinal benefits associated with these plant-derived compounds.
