Abstract
AbstractThe use of essential oils (EOs) worldwide continues to rise, and EOs are already established in folk and western medicine as remedies against inflammation, respiratory diseases, and infections, and are used for aromatherapy, insect repellents, food preservatives, and in the perfume and cosmetics industries. Pesticide residues are already present in the environment, however, and are thus also found in the aromatic plants used for EO production. The control of pesticides in EOs is therefore essential, especially with the recent trends in EO consumption. This paper is an overview on possible methods used for the determination of pesticide residues in EOs, covering the work of the scientific community in the last 20–25 years.
