Volatile oils, also known as essential oils, are liquid, volatile compounds found in plants and animals. They evaporate at ordinary temperatures. Chemically, they are derived from terpenes and their oxygenated compounds. Common examples include oils from clove, cinnamon, fennel, and coriander. Distillation is a widely used method to extract volatile oils from plant material, while other methods include solvent extraction, mechanical expression, and enzymatic hydrolysis. Volatile oils have various medicinal and industrial uses such as flavoring agents, fragrances, and antimicrobials.

Volatile oils are oils that are characterized by their volatility and failure to saponify. They evaporate when they are exposed to the air and thus are capable of distillation. They are derived from plant tissues. Thus, they may be produced naturally by extraction, particularly by distillation, often by using steam. They may also be made synthetically.
As medicines, volatile oils are used as stimulants, stomach aches, correctives, and carminatives. Other use of volatile oil is for purposes of flavoring (e.g., peppermint oil). But the most common use of volatile oil is for the production of perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and the like.
Volatile oil is sometimes called an essential oil. An essential oil is known for being a concentrated hydrophobic liquid with plant-derived, volatile aroma compounds. It is referred to as essential since it contains what seems to be the essence of the plant’s fragrance

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. VOLATILE OILS
• Definition :
• The odorous, volatile principles of plant and
animal sources are known as volatile oils. They
are liquid, volatile oils will evaporate or volatize
when exposure at an ordinary temperature and so
they are called ethereal oils. They are also called
as essential oils as they are essences or
concentrated constituents of the plants.
2. General properties of volatile oils
1.They are soluble in alcohol, ether and
other lipid solvents and practically insoluble
in water.
2. They are usually lighter than water.
3. They possess characteristic odours and
they have high refractive index
3. • 4. Most of them are optically active.
• 5. They are secreted in special
structuree such as duct, cell,
schzogenous or lysigenous gland,
trichomes.
• 6. They are commonly found in the
species of Labiatate, Rutaceae,
Piperaceae, Zingeberaceae,
4. • 7. They are present in entire plant or in
any part of the plant.
5. • CHEMICAL NATURE:
• Chemically , they are derived from
terpenes and their oxygenated
compounds. They are made up of isoprene
units ( C5H8) and are usually mono-,
sesqui-, and diterpenes with empirical
formulae as C10H16,C15H24, and C20H32
respectively.
8. Biosynthesis and chemical
composition
• Chemical constituents of volatile oils may
be divided into 2 broad classes, based on
their biosynthetic origin:
1. Terpene derivatives formed via the acetate-
mevalonic acid pathway.
2. Aromatic compounds formed via the
shikimic acid-phenylpropanoid route.
10. Uses of drugs containing essential oils
Pharmacy
Perfumery
Food technology
Miscellaneous industries (as starting
materials for the synthesis of the active
principles of medicines, vitamins, and
fragrances).
11. Preparation of volatile oils
The principal methods used in the
preparation of volatile oils from plants
depend on:
1. Distillation in water or steam.
2. Mechanical methods
3. Extraction with solvents.
4. Enzymatic hydrolysis
5. Supercritical fluid extraction
12. 1. Distillation method
• This is the most widely used method for
the extraction of volatile oil
• PROCEDURE – The plant material is
macerated and then steam distilled, when
the essential oils go into distillate from
which they are extracted by pure organic
volatile solvents.
13.
14. • Like Light Petroleum ether.
• However , the method should be used with
a great care , since some essential oils
are decomposed during distillation and
some are hydrolyzed to none or less
fragrant compounds
15. 2. Mechanical methods
• A) Enfleurage method
• B) Eculle method
• Enfleurage method
• It is also known as cold fat extraction
16. Enfleurage method
• It is also known as cold fat extraction
• Used for the extraction of delicate
perfumes from Flower petals
17. Method -
• The fresh flower petals are mechanically
spread on a layer of fatty material, ( A
glass plate is covered with a thin coating
of especially prepared and odourless fat)
allowed to imbibe and the exhausted
petals are replaced by fresh material.
18.
19. • The process is continued till the fatty layer
is saturated with volatile principles, which
are then extracted with lipid solvent like
ethyl alcohol.
• The extract having ethyl alcohol and
essential oils is distilled under reduced
pressure to remove the solvent.
20. • Advantages –
• In case of distillation method , volatile oil
may undergoes hydrolysis, polymerization
or resinification or delicate oils becomes
lost in large volumes of water or where the
flowers continue to produce fragrance
after the harvest effleurage is usually
practiced
21. Ecuelle method ( Expression method)
• It is also known as expression method
• Used for the extraction of citrus oils from
citrus fruits.
22. Method –
• Here oil cells in rind are ruptured
mechanically using pointed projections by
twisting the raw material over them in
Clockwise direction either mechanically
or manually.
23. • The oil is then separated from the juice by
centrifugation.
• The other half of the oil is generally not
extracted and such residue is used for the
isolation of inferior quality of oil by
distillation.
24. • Eg citrus, lemon and grass oils are
extracted by this method
25.
26. 3. Extraction with solvents.•
• Here they are using volatile solvents to
extract the volatile oil. i.e Petroleum ether,
benzene
27. Method –
• Fresh flowers are transferred into specially
constructed extractors at room
temperature and carefully treated with
purified solvent , usually petroleum ether.
28. • The solvent penetrates the flowers and
dissolves the natural perfume together
with some waxes and other albuminous
and coloring matter
• This solution is pumped into an evaporator
and concentrated at low temperature. After
complete evaporation of solvent the flower
oil is obtained.
29. • Application –
• This method is used in perfume industry
for the production of volatile oils using lipid
solvents like petroleum ether or benzene
• Advantages-
• It is quick
• Quality assured and economical method
30. • The decomposition of volatile oil is less as
compared to hydro distillation method
• The solvent distilled off may be reused for
extraction
31. 4. Enzymatic extraction
• Here , the volatile oil is normally found in
plants substances in the form of
odourless glycosidal combination.
However , the odoriferous compounds
are liberated free only by hydrolysis.
• Volatile oil of bitter almond (
Benzaldehyde)
