What are essential oils?
Essential Oil
A volatile oil obtained from a
wide variety of plant, scrub,
and tree species and from
various parts of the plant
anatomy, such as the roots,
rhizomes, wood bark, leaves,
stems, fruit, flowers and seeds.
Usually extracted by hydro or
steam distillation, expression
or effleurage - Hunter 1996
Concretes and
Absolutes
Volatiles and waxes
extracted from plant material
with hydrocarbon solvents
(usually benzene and
hexane) through washing
and removal of the volatile
solvent with distillation. A
waxy aromatic substance
remaining is called a
concrete. The concrete is
washed with alcohol to
remove the volatile materials
and ethanol removed
through vacuum distillation
to leave an absolute.

Trader
Manufacturers
Wholesalers
Retailers
Consumers
Usually bulk oils to traders
who do all distribution.
Lowest price and little
control over market, but
wide distribution
With differentiated
product some flexibility
to sell to
manufacturers, costs
higher but increased
margin maybe
compensate.
This part of supply chain for
smaller packs and end
products. Can be local,
national or international.
Value added method like
branding in use.
Usually branded item small
packs, end product. Either
selective (region or retailer
type), or general
distribution. High value, low
volume with added
distribution costs.
Usually direct to
consumers through
internet and/or direct
marketing organisation.
Usually specialised end
products with high profit
Need high
volume due to
low margin
unless

Need differentiated

Characteristics of the Flavour &
Fragrance Industry
The flavour and fragrance ingredients trade has its own culture and
business strategies, which can be summarised as follows:
a) Flavour and fragrance ingredients are subject to derived demand,
where demand originates from final flavoured and fragranced end
product demand,
b) Demand for flavour and fragrance ingredients is relatively inelastic in
the short term,
c) Flavour and fragrance ingredients are subject to fluctuating and
cyclic demand,
d) Purchasing and use of flavour and fragrance ingredients is based on
artistic and technical complexity, and
e) The world market is geographically concentrated.

Leading to Greater Supply
a) Downward Trend in Pricing
Leading to Decreased Supply
A forecast is accepted that supply will
decrease in the coming year and traders
buy up stocks leading to higher prices
(P2). Producers see good returns and
increase production leading to a glut of
supply, thus decreasing prices (P3). This
fluctuation is on a time lag depending
upon the time frame from extra planting to
harvests.
Aggregate
Increase in
Production
A forecast is accepted that supply will
increase in the coming year and traders
don’t buy up stocks leading to lower prices
(P2). Producers see poor returns and
switch to alternative crops, leading to a
shortage of supply, thus increasing prices
(P3). This fluctuation is on a time lag
depending upon the time frame from extra
planting to harvests.

Terpenes
• Unsaturated hydrocarbons
•Found mostly in plants
•Usually monoterpenes and
sesquiterpenes used in flavours
and fragrances
•Generally weak odours not fully
represented from the essential
oils they come from
•Sometimes poorly soluble in
weak ethanolic solutions
•Primarily used as extenders
•Can oxidate or polymerise easily
changing odour and lessening
volatility

Extraction theory and practice
Principals: Latent Heat
• Molecule speed and energy
dependent upon temperature
•Change from liquid to gas state
requires energy
•Due to motion of molecules, all
compounds with determinable
boiling points will emit vapours
from their surafaces, if area
closed this will insert pressure
upon the molecule, termed
vapour pressure
•These vapours will saturate the
molecule and take up additional
molecules
•This saturated vapour will
carry other molecules
Amount of heat required to vapourise a unit
mass of liquid, without raising the
temperature of the vapour above that of the
liquid is called LATENT HEAT of
vapourisation
Heat and relative pressures are important in distillation
The Gas Laws
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed in any system of constant mass and
that heat is energy
First Law of Themodynamics
Mechanical Equivalent of heat
Energy exerts a force to move a mass against the forces of friction
i.e., 540 kilocalies of latent heat required to vapourise 1 kilogram of
water in one second requires 2268 watts of power
Second Law of Thermodynamics
Heat cannot be transferred from cooler to hotter body
The Gas Laws
Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction
Heat will be conducted from one
plane surface to another at a rate proportional to the area of contact and at the
magnitude of differential temperatures
Boyle’s Law
At constant temperatures, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely
Proportional to the pressure on the gas
Charles’ Law
Under constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of gas is proportional
To its absolute temperature
The Gas Laws
Avogadro’s Law
Equal volumes of ideal gases under equal conditions of temperature and
pressure contain equal numbers of molecules
All the above laws also apply to mixed
vapours
Mixed Vapours
If two immiscible liquids are in equilibrium with a common vapur
space, each will contribute equally to any unit volume of that space.
Thus, a mixture of two mutually insoluble liquids will boil when the
temperature attains the point where the sum of the two
characteristic vapour pressures becomes equal to the surrounding
pressure.
This is how distillation vapourises relatively high boiling materials
under normal atmospheric pressure, without approaching the
corresponding boiling temperatures of the essential oil;s
constituents.

The Principal of Essential oil Hydro
Distillation
The principal of all hydro distillation for the recovery of essential oils consists
In bringing together two mutually insoluble liquids, water and oil, at a temperature close
To the boiling point of the more volatile of the two, the water, so that the addition
Of a small extra vapour pressure from the oil, will cause the mixture’s total pressure
To equalise to the surrounding pressure.
Dalton’s Law
Releasing Oil from Plant Materials
In steam distillation water condenses of plant surfaces and
latent heat surrounds the material and raises volatile
materials to boiling point

Practice of Distillation
Different methods of distillation will be used
according to:
a) Structure of leaves and other plant materials
b) “potential modification” of plant’s chemical
constituents to heat
c) Some resinous materials not volatile and wont
react to distillation
Due to material distillation times
with differ for various essential oils

Some Success
factors
An Existing Crop – Product Already Traded
This can be seen as an improvement on existing production or setting
up new production in an area already producing the crop.
 Improving cultivation and harvesting methods to
improve productivity
 Finding new customers and channels to increase sales
An Existing Crop – Leading to a New Product
This may involve moving along the value chain to a new market
based on an essential oil already produced or producing an
essential oil for some type of value added product.
 Improving cultivation and harvesting methods to
improve productivity
 Finding out what products potential customers want In
a new product
 Producing a new product according to identified
consumer needs
 Organising the supply chain for the new product to get
to market
 Making the product available to more consumers who
are likely to want it
A New Crop to a New Geographic Area
This involves producing an essential oil already in trade in a new
geographical area.
 Establishing the most efficient way to cultivate, harvest
and process the essential oil
 Matching the newly produced essential oil with
customer expectations and requirements
 Organising the supply chain so the essential oil reaches
the market
 Making the essential oil available to new customers
who are likely to require it
A New Crop and New Product
This involves producing a product higher up the value chain,
differentiating it and producing the essential oil.
 Making informed decisions about new crop choices
 Establishing the most efficient way to cultivate, harvest
and process the essential oil
 Finding out from potential customers what they want in
the new oil
 Making sure the oil meets the customers needs as
closely as possible
 Organising the supply chain so the essential oil reaches
the market

– expect high elasticity of supply
from both existing and new
producers.
Producers of substitutes very
aggressive
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
Collecting the most suitable
planting material require effort.
Extraction and
harvest .technology needs to be
acquired or developed
Analytical equipment or service
maybe expensive/remote.
Substitutes
Citral (main constituents) can
be produced from a number of
chemical feed stocks.
Alternative oils (litsea cubeba)
cost much less to produce.
Lemon myrtle oil much
smoother and acceptable to
end users
Many alternatives to
lemongrass in product
formulations.
Trends & Technology
Alternative technologies to
steam distillation (CO2)
can make much smoother

Classes, Characteristics
and Uses of Essential Oils
Adapted from Naf (1989) and
Petrzilka (1991) in Hunter
(1995)
A new material must have the following
characteristics to have commercial potential
a) The novelty of the new essential oil
b) The perceived potential uses and applications of the
new essential oil
c) The closeness of any substitutes to the new essential
oil
d) The stability of the new essential oil
e) The cost/price performance ratio of the new essential
oil
f) The toxicity aspects of the new essential oil
g) The general consistency of supply and quality
h) The prevailing market/product trends, and
i) The current level of technology
Kastner (1991) modified by Hunter (1995)
Evaluating the Characteristic Strengths and Weaknesses of Essential Oils
The novelty of a new essential oil
The major factor determining the novelty is the perceived uniqueness
of the essential oil’s organoleptic profile. Thus, the degree of novelty
is limited by the closeness of potential substitutes. The concept of novelty
extends to essential oils that are more cost effective sources of natural
aroma chemicals. New natural sources of aroma chemicals would also
fit into this criteria of novelty.
The potential uses and applications of a new essential oil
Without perfumers and flavourists perceiving applications potential, a new
essential oil will remain in the realm of curiosity. Time, effort and imagination
on the part of perfumers and flavourists is required to discover useful
applications for new essential oils. It is under this criteria that most new
essential oils will struggle to find acceptance as a new aromatic material.
The closeness of any substitutes
It is difficult to find essential oils that cannot be duplicated by reconstitutions.
New essential oils with close substitutes are of little value to the flavour
and fragrance industry, unless they can offer a significant cost or stability
advantage. The only exception is when a new essential oil is a source of
a natural aroma material.
The Toxicity
The cost of proving a new material is safe to use in flavours and
fragrances is a major obstacle to the development of new aromatic
materials. The industry has an impeccable reputation for self
regulation and added EU regulations increases the cost of preparing
dossiers on new materials even more. In markets outside the EU,
most international flavour and fragrance houses would not consider
using a new essential oil unless it meets IFRA safety and toxicity
recommendations and is included on the GRAS list.
The Cost Price/Performance Ratio of the
New Essential Oil
Important in the application potential of the
new essential oil. New material must offer
a perceptible odour/flavour at low
concentrations
The Stability of the New essential Oil
Stability as an essential oil and stability in
end products.
The general consistency of quality and supply
Natural material will vary in quality according to geographic origin,
type of soil, level of nutrients in the soil, climate and weather,
rainfall, time of harvest, season, method of extraction, altitude
and the incidence of pests and diseases. Likewise there are
risks with continual supply of natural materials because of
adverse weather conditions, changes in climate, floods and
other natural disasters, wars, political upheavels and the
inexperience of new producers. Launching new consumer
products require large investments on the part of the end
product manufacturer. Flavour and fragrance houses do
not want to be placed in a position of being unable to supply
a manufacturer with a flavour or fragrance compound because
of the unavailability of a raw material.
The prevailing market/product trends
Market and product trends slowly evolve. Changes in market trends
are the result of complex forces, including technology, which makes
new trends possible, advertising, and cultural influences upon
consumer tastes and preferences. A particular essential oil may
become more or less important to the flavour and fragrance industry,
depending upon these trends.
The current level of technology
New technology advances influence the value of existing aromatic
materials to the flavour and fragrance industry. The development
of new essential oil reconstitutions are aimed at eliminating some
of the potential toxicity and solubility problems of existing essential
oils. Reconstitutions are generally more stable and cheaper than
their more expensive natural counterparts. As better and more cost
effective reconstitutions are developed in the future, the use of some
essential oils will decline. Since the advent of more sophisticated
analytical techniques, like GC-MS, headspace analysis, electronic
noses, aroma chemical and specialty product manufacturers have
been better able to isolate powerful aromatic molecules from essential
oils and synthesise these compounds. The discovery of new aroma
chemicals in essential oils due to increased equipment sensitivity
is more likely to lead to synthesis rather than cultivation.

  • 25. Essential Oil A volatile oil obtained from a wide variety of plant, scrub, and tree species and from various parts of the plant anatomy, such as the roots, rhizomes, wood bark, leaves, stems, fruit, flowers and seeds. Usually extracted by hydro or steam distillation, expression or effleurage - Hunter 1996
  • 26. Concretes and Absolutes Volatiles and waxes extracted from plant material with hydrocarbon solvents (usually benzene and hexane) through washing and removal of the volatile solvent with distillation. A waxy aromatic substance remaining is called a concrete. The concrete is washed with alcohol to remove the volatile materials and ethanol removed through vacuum distillation to leave an absolute.

  • 30. The Nature of the Industry
  • 32. Trader Manufacturers Wholesalers Retailers Consumers Usually bulk oils to traders who do all distribution. Lowest price and little control over market, but wide distribution With differentiated product some flexibility to sell to manufacturers, costs higher but increased margin maybe compensate. This part of supply chain for smaller packs and end products. Can be local, national or international. Value added method like branding in use. Usually branded item small packs, end product. Either selective (region or retailer type), or general distribution. High value, low volume with added distribution costs. Usually direct to consumers through internet and/or direct marketing organisation. Usually specialised end products with high profit Need high volume due to low margin unless specialised product Need differentiated product. Above average returns, higher marketing costs Need branded specialised product, high margins volume depends on coverage Business focus towards consumer marketing away from agricultural production Supply Chain/Product Focus Bi-products to Other Supply Chains Essential Oil Producer
  • 33. Characteristics of the Flavour & Fragrance Industry The flavour and fragrance ingredients trade has its own culture and business strategies, which can be summarised as follows: a) Flavour and fragrance ingredients are subject to derived demand, where demand originates from final flavoured and fragranced end product demand, b) Demand for flavour and fragrance ingredients is relatively inelastic in the short term, c) Flavour and fragrance ingredients are subject to fluctuating and cyclic demand, d) Purchasing and use of flavour and fragrance ingredients is based on artistic and technical complexity, and e) The world market is geographically concentrated.

Producers see good returns and increase production leading to a glut of supply, thus decreasing prices (P3). This fluctuation is on a time lag depending upon the time frame from extra planting to harvests. Aggregate Increase in Production A forecast is accepted that supply will increase in the coming year and traders don’t buy up stocks leading to lower prices (P2). Producers see poor returns and switch to alternative crops, leading to a shortage of supply, thus increasing prices (P3). This fluctuation is on a time lag depending upon the time frame from extra planting to harvests.

  • 115. Principals: Latent Heat • Molecule speed and energy dependent upon temperature •Change from liquid to gas state requires energy •Due to motion of molecules, all compounds with determinable boiling points will emit vapours from their surafaces, if area closed this will insert pressure upon the molecule, termed vapour pressure •These vapours will saturate the molecule and take up additional molecules •This saturated vapour will carry other molecules Amount of heat required to vapourise a unit mass of liquid, without raising the temperature of the vapour above that of the liquid is called LATENT HEAT of vapourisation Heat and relative pressures are important in distillation
  • 116. The Gas Laws Energy can neither be created nor destroyed in any system of constant mass and that heat is energy First Law of Themodynamics Mechanical Equivalent of heat Energy exerts a force to move a mass against the forces of friction i.e., 540 kilocalies of latent heat required to vapourise 1 kilogram of water in one second requires 2268 watts of power Second Law of Thermodynamics Heat cannot be transferred from cooler to hotter body
  • 117. The Gas Laws Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction Heat will be conducted from one plane surface to another at a rate proportional to the area of contact and at the magnitude of differential temperatures Boyle’s Law At constant temperatures, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely Proportional to the pressure on the gas Charles’ Law Under constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of gas is proportional To its absolute temperature
  • 118. The Gas Laws Avogadro’s Law Equal volumes of ideal gases under equal conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules All the above laws also apply to mixed vapours
  • 119. Mixed Vapours If two immiscible liquids are in equilibrium with a common vapur space, each will contribute equally to any unit volume of that space. Thus, a mixture of two mutually insoluble liquids will boil when the temperature attains the point where the sum of the two characteristic vapour pressures becomes equal to the surrounding pressure. This is how distillation vapourises relatively high boiling materials under normal atmospheric pressure, without approaching the corresponding boiling temperatures of the essential oil;s constituents.
  • 120. Mixed Vapours Molecules of water vapour a Molecules of water vapour b Liquid water a Liquid oil b Liquid water a Liquid oil b Molecules of water and gas vapour The composition of mixed vapours from immiscible liquids Eg. Water 99.6c Eg linalyl acetate 226c Together at 99.6c
  • 121. The Principal of Essential oil Hydro Distillation The principal of all hydro distillation for the recovery of essential oils consists In bringing together two mutually insoluble liquids, water and oil, at a temperature close To the boiling point of the more volatile of the two, the water, so that the addition Of a small extra vapour pressure from the oil, will cause the mixture’s total pressure To equalise to the surrounding pressure. Dalton’s Law

If not, will biomass be wild-collected? What method would be most suitable for propagation, from seed, cuttings, tissue culture, other? Does nursery propagation of the potential crop require any other special care? What staffing will be required? What would be the approximate costs of achieving the above?
  • 207. 2. Field Preparation and Infrastructure What overall infrastructure will be needed?, nursery, road access, fencing, outbuildings, farming equipment, etc. What land preparation is needed, land levelling and contouring, drainage, etc. Does the crop require large amounts of water to thrive during growth? Is there adequate water available through rainfall to satisfy this? Will irrigation be required? If so, what method? Will dams and catchment areas have to be constructed to ensure a plentiful water supply? What will be the approximate costs of this? Are there any other potential costs?
  • 208. 3. Planting and Maintenance Approximately how long will the crop take from field planting to harvest maturity? How will the potential crop be planted?, manually/automated? What will be the costs involved? What would the approximate planting density be? Will nutrients have to be applied? If so, how regularly?, How much? What method will be used to apply them? What will be the approximate costs of this? How often are re-plantings required? After each harvest, after a number of seasons, after how many years, what are the costs involved to prepare for each re-planting?

Mint Lemongrass Some citrus oils Eucalyptus Clove Perfume and Flavour compounds Flavours where natural status is desired Some citrus oils used for cleaning solvents. Isolation of natural aroma chemicals, eg., eugenol from clove oil. Flavour/Odour Profile due to one or few major constituents that cannot be easily reconstructed Usually medium to high volume, medium priced oils. Olfactory and flavour characteristics more important in purchase decisions. Difficult to reconstitute. Vativert Sandalwood Patchouli Perfumery and flavour compounds (both functional and fine perfumery) Character from main constituents, but richness and complexity from minor constituents Low volume/high priced oils. Olfactory characteristics important in purchase decisions and pricing. In most cases oils can be reconstituted efficiently. Rose oil Jasmine absolute Many herb oils Fine perfumery (mainly reconstitutions used for functional perfumes) Limited flavour use Majority of herb oils used for flavours but beginning to be used in fragrances None of the main constituents contribute decisively to the desired odour/flavour profile Low volume/hogh priced oils. Olfactory characteristics most important in purchase decisions. In most cases good reconstitutions can be produced. Mimosa absolute Fine perfumery (usually too expensive to use for functional products) Classes, Characteristics and Uses of Essential Oils Adapted from Naf (1989) and Petrzilka (1991) in Hunter (1995)
  • 217. A new material must have the following characteristics to have commercial potential a) The novelty of the new essential oil b) The perceived potential uses and applications of the new essential oil c) The closeness of any substitutes to the new essential oil d) The stability of the new essential oil e) The cost/price performance ratio of the new essential oil f) The toxicity aspects of the new essential oil g) The general consistency of supply and quality h) The prevailing market/product trends, and i) The current level of technology Kastner (1991) modified by Hunter (1995)
  • 218. Evaluating the Characteristic Strengths and Weaknesses of Essential Oils The novelty of a new essential oil The major factor determining the novelty is the perceived uniqueness of the essential oil’s organoleptic profile. Thus, the degree of novelty is limited by the closeness of potential substitutes. The concept of novelty extends to essential oils that are more cost effective sources of natural aroma chemicals. New natural sources of aroma chemicals would also fit into this criteria of novelty.
  • 219. The potential uses and applications of a new essential oil Without perfumers and flavourists perceiving applications potential, a new essential oil will remain in the realm of curiosity. Time, effort and imagination on the part of perfumers and flavourists is required to discover useful applications for new essential oils. It is under this criteria that most new essential oils will struggle to find acceptance as a new aromatic material.
  • 220. The closeness of any substitutes It is difficult to find essential oils that cannot be duplicated by reconstitutions. New essential oils with close substitutes are of little value to the flavour and fragrance industry, unless they can offer a significant cost or stability advantage. The only exception is when a new essential oil is a source of a natural aroma material.
  • 221. The Toxicity The cost of proving a new material is safe to use in flavours and fragrances is a major obstacle to the development of new aromatic materials. The industry has an impeccable reputation for self regulation and added EU regulations increases the cost of preparing dossiers on new materials even more. In markets outside the EU, most international flavour and fragrance houses would not consider using a new essential oil unless it meets IFRA safety and toxicity recommendations and is included on the GRAS list.
  • 222. The Cost Price/Performance Ratio of the New Essential Oil Important in the application potential of the new essential oil. New material must offer a perceptible odour/flavour at low concentrations
  • 223. The Stability of the New essential Oil Stability as an essential oil and stability in end products.
  • 224. The general consistency of quality and supply Natural material will vary in quality according to geographic origin, type of soil, level of nutrients in the soil, climate and weather, rainfall, time of harvest, season, method of extraction, altitude and the incidence of pests and diseases. Likewise there are risks with continual supply of natural materials because of adverse weather conditions, changes in climate, floods and other natural disasters, wars, political upheavels and the inexperience of new producers. Launching new consumer products require large investments on the part of the end product manufacturer. Flavour and fragrance houses do not want to be placed in a position of being unable to supply a manufacturer with a flavour or fragrance compound because of the unavailability of a raw material.
  • 225. The prevailing market/product trends Market and product trends slowly evolve. Changes in market trends are the result of complex forces, including technology, which makes new trends possible, advertising, and cultural influences upon consumer tastes and preferences. A particular essential oil may become more or less important to the flavour and fragrance industry, depending upon these trends.
  • 226. The current level of technology New technology advances influence the value of existing aromatic materials to the flavour and fragrance industry. The development of new essential oil reconstitutions are aimed at eliminating some of the potential toxicity and solubility problems of existing essential oils. Reconstitutions are generally more stable and cheaper than their more expensive natural counterparts. As better and more cost effective reconstitutions are developed in the future, the use of some essential oils will decline. Since the advent of more sophisticated analytical techniques, like GC-MS, headspace analysis, electronic noses, aroma chemical and specialty product manufacturers have been better able to isolate powerful aromatic molecules from essential oils and synthesise these compounds. The discovery of new aroma chemicals in essential oils due to increased equipment sensitivity is more likely to lead to synthesis rather than cultivation.
