    Essential Oil

    any of a large class of volatile odoriferous oils of


    vegetable origin that give plants their
    characteristic odors and often other properties,
    that are obtained from various parts of the plants
    (as flowers, leaves, or bark) by steam distillation,
    expression, or extraction, that are usually mixtures
    of compounds (as aldehydes or esters), and that
    are used often in the form of essences in
    perfumes, flavorings, and pharmaceutical
    preparations—called also ethereal oil, volatile oil;
    compare fatty oil, fixed oil
    As originally expressed, the regular
    isoprene rule states that all terpenoids
    have carbon skeleton formed by the head
    to tail linkage of isopentyl (isoprene) C5
    Units . Although these C5 units do have the
    carbon skeleton of isoprene , isoprene is not
    a natural product , nor is it in anyway
    involved in terpenoid Biosyntheses.
    In fact all
    terpenoids compounds originate from
    isopentyl pyrophosphate. This is known as
    biogenetic isoprene rule.
    Carotinoids
    Beta
    Carotene
    β-Carotene is an organic, strongly colored red-orange
    pigment abundant in plants and fruits. It is a member
    of the carotenes, which are terpenoids, synthesized
    biochemically from eight isoprene units and thus
    having 40 carbons.
