VOLATILE OIL
DEFINITION
21
“The Volatile oils ” are those oils which are diffusing readily
into the air where oil may be detected by their smell.
Chemistry of volatile oils;;
They evaporated when exposed to air at temperature of
15.5 to 16.50◦c, so they are called as “Ethereal oils.”
They represent essence Or Active constituents of plant,
Hence they are also known as “Essential oils.”
Chemically, they are derived from terpenes and their
Oxygenated compounds..
