Preface
Essential oils obtained from plants are gaining tremendous attention due to their several biological properties and use in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Essential oils are extracted from various plant parts by using different techniques. The chemical composition and quality of essential oils vary depending on several genetic and environmental factors. By employing diverse biotechnological methods, it is possible to improve the production of essential oils from plants. All these issues have been addressed in this book. Fourteen chapters are written by globally renowned researchers working in the area of essential oils and natural products. Chapter 1 by Hanif et al. provides the general overview of essential oils, their chemistry, extraction methods, analyses, biological activities, applications, risks, and dangers. The chemical composition of essential oils is influenced by biotic, abiotic, and geneti
