Abstract
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is a medicinal and aromatic plant, widely grown in several parts of the world. The essential oil of coriander is obtained from fully ripe dried seeds or leaves using steam distillation. The oil is a colorless or pale yellow liquid with a characteristic linalool odor and mild sweet, warm, and aromatic flavor. Coriander oil is rich in linalool, limonene, α-pinene, camphene, geranyl acetate, and linalyl acetate. Coriander oil is extensively used in the food industry as a flavoring agent. The essential oil also contributes to the storage stability of the food products providing protection against food-spoiling microorganisms. The dietary uses of the coriander essential oil are therefore helpful in maintaining good health.
