THE ESSENTIAL OILS Vol. V
The present work, like the two previous volumes of this series, describes the production, physicochemical properties, chemical composition, and uses of in- dividual essential oils. For the reason noted in the Prefaces to Volumes III and IV, these oils are grouped within the botanical families to which the cor- responding plants belong, but the families themselves are not arranged ac- cording to any taxonomic system.
Some of the oils treated in this volume are of great importance to the flavor chemist: nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, pepper, cubeb, star anise to men- tion only a few. Others will be of interest to perfume, cosmetic, and soap perfumers: among these are rose, sandalwood, cananga, ylang ylang, jasmine, tuberose, and violet.
Originally it was hoped that the fifth volume would complete the treat- ment of individual essential oils. In the course of preparation, however, the book grew to such size that division into two parts became necessary. The present volume, therefore, will be followed by a sixth-the last of the series.
