Chemistry Of Essential Oils Essential Oils?

This is a heck of a question, and I have to ask why you want to know.
a) It is easy to create synthetic fragrances.
b) There is no comparison of efficiency. Synthetic oils have no place in aromatherapy. You are in food and fragrance industry, shows the chemical signature consistent.
c) The only real concern that in mind if you use synthetic fragrances, if ketones are a factor. Ketones are chemical substances in essential oils, which are known to be toxic. Thujone is a ketone. Sage essential oil is rich in thujone and is not toxic. This suggests that, at least with this essential oil, not the sum of its parts match. If the chemical signature of an essential oil replicated with pure chemicals, not fully and faithfully reproduce the natural product.
d) Do not you think I understand this question completely. Let me say that everyone knows, distillery, where the plant raw material. There are many distilleries that can not grow all biomass DISuntil. In addition, peppermint and ylang require very different climatic zones, they will not be grown in one place. I think they should ask themselves how they rely on the claims of their origin of plant material. It really depends on how you know, the references in a position to receive the quality they offer samples. There are big, well run and well-known distilleries producing oil, which is not very sensitive and there are small distilleries of the family in third world countries that can manufacture its own packaging waste oil surprising.
e) Laboratory tests show that the chemical signature, and the remains of the elements should or not be, depending on the quality of the presumed origin and culture tests. To test the other, the nose! I can tell you that plastics can be detected by a person with a nose of education.
Ugh ... It was fun to answer.
If you are not with the natural extract, trace elements may be missing that are not yet familiar with the chemical analysis.
The main difference is that essential oils can be patented, synthetic, manufactured and sold for more money. Natural sources of these oils are abundantly available and should be used instead. We need all we can do to the pharmaceutical industry is not richer than it already is.
