Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile chemical compounds obtained from various plant sources. Chemically, they are primarily composed of terpenes, which are a large and diverse class of organic compounds. These terpenes are synthesized in specialized plant structures like glandular trichomes, resin ducts, or secretory cavities. Essential oils are obtained through methods such as steam distillation, solvent extraction, or cold-pressing of plant material.
The composition of essential oils can vary widely, even among different species of the same plant. They typically contain a mixture of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and occasionally diterpenes, along with smaller amounts of other organic compounds like alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and phenolic compounds. These compounds are responsible for the characteristic aroma and potential therapeutic properties of essential oils.
From a scientific perspective, essential oils can have various physiological effects on both plants and animals. In plants, they often serve protective functions by repelling herbivores, deterring pathogens, or attracting pollinators. In animals, including humans, essential oils can exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other pharmacological activities.

Besides our exciting and premium quality essential oils and aroma chemicals, we also have a range of Oleoresins in store for you, thereby offering you the complete “essential” package!
Oleoresins are natural plant extracts composed of a mixture of both volatile and non-volatile compounds. Chemically, they are a combination of essential oils and resinous substances obtained from various plant sources. Unlike essential oils, which are primarily composed of terpenes, oleoresins contain a broader range of compounds, including resin acids, esters, waxes, phenols, and other lipophilic substances.
The extraction of oleoresins involves the use of solvents, such as ethanol or hexane, to dissolve and extract the desired compounds from plant materials. This method allows for the extraction of both the volatile essential oil and the non-volatile resinous components. Common sources of oleoresins include spices, such as black pepper, paprika, or ginger, as well as certain tree barks, such as cinnamon or frankincense.
Oleoresins can possess unique sensory characteristics, including flavours, aromas, and colour profiles, which make them valuable ingredients in the food and beverage industry. They are often used as natural flavourings, food additives, or colouring agents due to their concentrated nature and ability to impart specific sensory properties to food products. In addition, some oleoresins also exhibit potential therapeutic properties and are used in herbal medicine or as natural remedies in traditional practices.
