Plant Resources of South-East Asia Essential-oil plants

---

This volume deals with the plants of South-East Asia that produce essential oil, particularly the ones producing oils used as fragrance material. It complements the Prosea volumes on edible fruits and nuts, medicinal an poisonous plants, spices, and plants producing exudates, which deal with plants that produce essential oils as important by-products.rnFragrance materials play a much more impotant and varied role in life than is often realized. Incense is burnt in religious ceremonies all over the world. In luxury perfumery, fragrance is used to subtly please the senses of the user and those nearby. Some body care products are equally important as perfumery products (aftershaves, antiperspirants); others have essential oils added to make their use more pleasant (creams, soaps, shampoos, deodorants). Functional perfumery covers a very wide range of products, from soaps and detergents to domestic cleaning products. Although the fragrance materials used in many cosmetic and household products are now largely synthetic, natural essential oils still play a central role in food and luxury perfumery, as the richness of their odour is unrivalled by synthetics and because the use of synthetics in food is subject to stricter government regulations.rnMost of the 38 important crops covered in this volume are grown in South-Est Asia, but several crops widely grown elsewhere and potentially useful in parts of South-East Asia have been included as well. A further 31 species of minor importance are treated briefly, while 400 species producing essential oils but having another primary use are listed.
