Eucalyptus oil is a volatile oil obtained from the steam distillation of the leaves of the Myrtaceae plant Eucalyptus globulus or other plants of the same genus.
Eucalyptus oil is one of the most commonly used essential oils. As candies and chewing gum become increasingly popular, one of the primary uses of eucalyptus oil is as a food additive. The refreshing and clean appeal of synthetic fragrances has a significant impact on the cosmetics industry (e.g., Chemicalbook such as toothpaste and oral care products), as well as other household cleaning product industries, and also influences the aroma of perfumes.
