Essential oils obtained from aromatic plants by distillation _expression_ or extraction with suitable organic solvents represents a complex mixture of several compounds. A vast majority of essential oils, however are constituted by mixtures of volatile monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes.
Among the four lakh plant species in the world, essential oils are found in a small number of only about 2000 species belonging to 60 families.
