Essential oils are products obtained from vegetable raw material either by distillation with water or steam or from the pericarp of citrus fruits by mechanical process or by dry distillation.
They are volatile, natural, complex compounds characterized by a strong odour and are formed by aromatic plants as secondary metabolites.
Essential oils are known for their bactericidal, virucidal fungicidal, medicinal properties and their fragrance and flavour.
As a result, essential oils have therefore found extensive use in medicinal, food, household, and cosmetic products
