Aromatics agents

Iha pharmacological response elicited by monocyclic aromatic agents is a function of the number and spatial arrangement of i-he functional groups attached to the aromatic ring this is i.rue of a great many drugs. 

Geraniol is the primordial monoterpene, and its simple derivatives and cyclization products occur in the oils of many plants, used as flavoring and aromatic agents (e.g., caraway, coriander, dill, eucalyptus, lavender, orange, peppermint, rose, and sandalwood), as well... 

Epoxy resins derived from bisphenol A and epichlorhydrin show marked resistance to radiation if they are cured with aromatic agents.

Aromatic agents such as eucalyptus and menthol have decongestant effects in the nose and can be useful in short-term relief of cough. Menthol inhibits capsaicin-induced cough in normal volunteers (Morice et al. 1994), and acts on a... 

C. consist mainly of monoterpene hydrocarbons, above all limonene (see p-menthadienes) (exception bergamot oil, that only contains ca. 40%). Since the important odor and taste components are thus only present in relatively low concentrations, so-called concentrates of C. are produced, especially for use as aromatizing agents, by removing a large portion of the unwanted non-polar terpene hydrocarbons, thereby the content of the polar components is increased. This can be achieved technically by distillation, distribution, extraction, or adsorption processes. 

Use (For special uses, see the individual entries) Financially about half of the production of essential oils is used in the food industry as aromatization agents. The rest is principally used in the perfume industry, either directly as components or as starting material for the production of other component. Only a relatively small portion is used in pharmaceutical preparations. Recently, essential oils have gained some popularity for the so-called aroma (fragrance) therapy.

Nuts and fruits with dry shells are eaten raw, roasted or cooked and also find uses in confectionery and in other foods as aromatic agents. Many nuts are (or can be) processed for vegetable oil and this is of benefit to those countries that are short of vegetable oil. The nut-producing countries have environmental spin-offs from nut trees as these can conserve soil and improve the environment. 

Jack pine is one of the most important commercial tree species in Canada and the Lake States of USA. Its wood is moderately hard and heavy, and relative to other softwoods, of intermediate strength (Eyre and LeBarron, 1944 Hosie, 1979). It can produce merchantable stands on sites often too poor and infertile for other tree species to thrive (Cayford and McRae, 1983). It has a number of commercial applications, including pulpwood, general construction timber, railway ties, poles, pilings, mine timbers and fuel (Rudolf, 1958 Hosie, 1979 Cayford and McRae, 1983 Law and Valade, 1994). Other applications include the extraction of essential oils for aromatic agents in products such as perfumes, cosmetics and cleaners (Maries et al., 2000).
