When enjoying a southeast asian soup or cup of herbal tea, we are
really savoring the flavor of lemongrass. Similarly, the sweet
aroma of mosquito-repelling lotions comes from the citronella oil
present in them. Fine perfumes, candles, and herbal pillows with
the pleasing smell of rose are often in fact scented with
palmarosa. Providing an in-depth look at their history and
production, Essential Oil Bearing Grasses: The genus Cymbopogon
provides a comprehensive review of these economically important
grasses. A detailed examination of chemical constituents and market
trends, the book explores the cosmetic, medicinal, and nutritional
uses of the plant. It covers the botany, taxonomy, chemistry, and
biogenesis of the oils, and their extraction and analytical
methods, biotechnology, storage, legislation, and trade.
Highlighting industrial uses for the grasses in this genus, the
book also includes coverage of the physiological and
ecophysiological considerations. It presents a comprehensive
overview of most of the cultivated and wild species of cymbopogons.
Featuring contributions from a team of international experts, the
book describes the considerable ethno-botanical, phytochemical, and
pharmacological knowledge associated with the multidimensional uses
of the oils. It provides a complete industrial profile that
includes market size, geographical sources, export and import data,
and industry uses. Its pages offer an invaluable resource for
research, cultivation, marketing, or product development of
Cymbopogon.
