The study investigates the anticancer effects of lemongrass oil and citral emulsion on cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa and ME-180). Results indicate that lemongrass oil at 200亮g/ml inhibits cell growth in both cell lines, while citral shows effectiveness at 500亮g/ml for HeLa and 300亮g/ml for ME-180, with lemongrass oil demonstrating higher activity. Future research will focus on in vivo efficacy and possible development of ointment-based anticancer drugs.
Perfumes have been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and others. They are created through complex mixtures of essential oils, aroma compounds, and solvents extracted primarily from plants but also occasionally from animal sources. Modern perfume manufacturing involves carefully blending various natural and synthetic ingredients according to secret recipes to achieve specific scents. The concentration of essential oils determines the intensity of the perfume from strongest to weakest being perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette and eau de cologne.
The document provides an overview of essential oils, which are volatile aromatic fluids extracted from various parts of plants through methods such as steam distillation and expression. It also details different extraction techniques including absolutes, CO2 extracts, organic extracts, and resins, highlighting their characteristics and uses in aromatherapy and natural perfumery. Essential oils and their extracts are explored for their fragrance and therapeutic benefits, emphasizing the importance of extraction methods in retaining the plant's original properties.
Volatile oils are complex mixtures of chemicals produced by plants. They are extracted through steam distillation or expression and have several uses including aromatherapy, flavoring, and perfumery. The main types of volatile oils are essential oils, concretes, pomades, resinoids, and absolutes which are extracted using various solvents or processes. Volatile oils are composed of terpene derivatives and aromatic compounds which give the oils their scents and flavors.
Volatile oils, also known as essential oils, are aromatic oily liquids found in many plants. They are highly volatile and evaporate easily at room temperature. Volatile oils are composed of hydrocarbons and oxidized hydrocarbons derived from terpenes. They are found stored in secretory cells, cavities, or channels located in different parts of plants. Volatile oils have various therapeutic uses and are also used in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavorings due to their strong aromas. They are extracted from plants using various techniques including water and steam distillation, solvent extraction, and enfleurage.
