Synopsis
Explore the science behind essential oils, from plant anatomy to the craft of distillation. This book presents a rigorous, practical view of how essential oils form, how they vary with environment, and how scientists analyze their chemistry. It blends plant biology with chemistry to explain what makes these oils unique.
The text centers on how growers, distillers, and researchers can study and influence oil quality. It uses clear examples and historical work to show how composition changes with factors like light, temperature, and soil, and it explains the analytical techniques used to identify and quantify oils and their compounds.
- How essential oils are defined and classified, and why their chemistry matters
- Methods for studying plant oils, including distillation and analytical techniques
- How environmental factors and cultivation practices affect oil content and quality
- Case studies that illustrate key concepts, such as peppermint and citral chemistry
Ideal for readers who want a solid, science-based understanding of essential oils—students, farmers, distillers, and researchers alike.
