Herbal preparations are defined as preparations obtained by subjecting herbal substances to treatments such as extraction, distillation, expression, fractionation, purification, concentration or fermentation. These include comminuted or powdered herbal substances, tinctures, extracts, essential oils, expressed juices and processed exudates. 

A relatively simple apparatus was described by Lucchesi et al. (2004) for extracting essential oils from aromatic plant material by atmospheric solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) without the addition of any solvent or water. The essential oils from spices like star anise extracted by SFME for 30 min and lh were similar to those obtained by conventional hydrodistillation (HD) for (respectively) 4 and 8 h.

Maceration is the removal of substances by soaking materials in an appropriate liquid. Hot fat is used in maceration to extract essential oils from plant material. The saturated fat is then washed with alcohol to leave pure essential oil, e.g. calendula oil. Maceration is used for extraction of essential oils that cannot be extracted by distillation. 

Hydrosols (or hydrolat or floral water) comprise the water collected from distillation of plant material used to extract essential oils. They contain water-soluble plant extracts and usually contain a tiny proportion of the essential oil. Their properties are often similar to those of the corresponding essential oil, but owing to their dilute nature they are considered to be gentler.

In summary, it can be said that there is less oxidation and isomerisation observed for C02-extraction compared to steam distillation, which is an important quality feature for C02-extracted essential oils even if this refers only to trace components in these oils. 

The examples discussed above clearly demonstrate that C02-extraction is a more gentle procedure than steam distillation. The smaller processing stress widely avoids the formation of artefacts. Therefore C02-extracts often have a better efficacy or a richer aroma profile reflecting the complete flavour or fragrance spectrum of the herbal raw material. This is also confirmed in the literature where professional fla-vourists have compared the aroma profiles of C02-extracts, essential oils and oleores-ins for a range of different spices [7]. Moreover C02-extraction is carried out under precisely standardised and controlled conditions which allow reproducible results. Since C02-extracts have their own character different from the usual distillates, they are new and powerful means for flavourists and food technologists to modify, improve or boost existing products or to create new premium flavour qualities. 

Chapter 3 deals with the raw materials which are of interest for the flavour sector. The topics range from chemically defined flavouring substances, both of natural and synthetic origin, to flavouring preparations and source materials, such as complex natural extracts, essential oils and juices. Eurthermore, process flavourings and nonflavouring compounds which are important for food technology are also presented. 

Solvent Extraction — Essential oils do not contain hydrophilic flavoring components, antioxidants, or pigments. The nonvolatile flavoring constituents of aroma plants are recoverable by extraction. The selection of solvent is limited depending on its toxicity, regardless of whether or not it remains in the final product. Two kinds... 

Some suitable methods of extracting essential oil from some of the herbs. 

To Extract Essential Oil om Wood, Barks, Koots, Herbs etc. Take balm, mint, sage, or any other herb, Ac., put into a bottle, and pour upon it a spoonful of ether keep in a cool place a few uourH, and then fill the bottle with cold water tho essential oil will swim ou the burfacc, and may be easily separated. 

Ionescu et al. exhibited that T. vulgare showed antihelmintic activity. Ether extract, essential oils and (3-thujone isolated from T. vulgare were found as active principles and toxic doses were recorded [183]. 

Cycloalkanes can have rings with three, four, five, six, or even more carbon atoms. The name for the six-carbon cycloalkane is cyclohexane. Cyclohexane, which is obtained from petroleum, is used in paint and varnish removers and for extracting essential oils to make perfume.

Distillation is one of the most important processes used in chemical laboratories for separating liquid mixtures. It has been in use since ancient times to extract essential oils such as attar of roses. An important industrial application is distilling of petroleum in oil refineries that produce the heavy and light gasoline used to fuel engines.

Sesquiterpenes are the Ci representatives of the terpenoid family and are formally considered to be constructed of three isoprene units. Sesquiterpenes are certainly as widely distributed in the plant kingdom as monoterpenes, and the two types of terpenoids commonly co-occur in steam-distilled or extracted essential oils, with the sesquiterpenes generally present at lower levels (Karrer, 1958 Gildemeister and Hoffmann, 1956-1%3 Guenther, 1976). Additionally, sesquiterpenes are synthesized by many fungi (Turner, 1971 McCorkindale, 1976) and other lower plants (Anderson et al., 1978), whereas monoterpenes are uncommon in lower plants (Collins, 1976). Halogenated sesquiterpenes occur in marine algae (Moore, 1977).

One dedicated section of the EFFA LM also provides a list with the composition of the NCSs (extracts, essential oils, concretes, absolutes, etc.) in terms of the presence (content in %) of hazardous constituents and HCs in the NCSs that have to be taken into account for the classi cation and labeling of the NCSs or a preparation containing these NCSs, based on the DPD. 

In addition to the commonly encountered silicone compounds listed above, a number of other specialized silicone derivatives may be found in personal care formulations. These substances include siliconized natural waxes, fragrances, sunscreens, pigments, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, botanical extracts, essential oils, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and the like. The various types of compounds that have been covalently bonded onto silicone polymers are quite extensive and will not be discussed in further detail in this chapter. 

One of the ideas that arose in the early phase of European alchemy was that all substances were composed not only of the four terrestrial elements but also of a fifth, which Aristotle had maintained was confined to the heavens. This fifth element was known as the quintessence of the substance in which it occurred. The marvellous properties of alcohol led to the belief that it was the quintessence of wine. Furthermore, alcohol was the first organic solvent known, and could extract essential oils fi om plants. These, with their distinctive odours, seemed to be the quintessences of the plants. Thus the quintessences of herbs and other plants could be extracted by solution or distillation with alcohol to form a liqueur. The earliest liqueurs were prepared for their medicinal properties only later was their use appreciated in a purely social context.
