Basic Structure of Essential Oil Constituents
The aromatic constituents of essential oils are constructed from long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have a predominantly ring like structure. Links of carbon atoms form the backbone of these chains, with oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other carbon atoms attached at various points of the chain.
Essential oils have a different chemistry than fatty oils. In contrast to the simple linear carbon-hydrogen structure of fatty oils, essential oils have a far more complex ring structure and contain sulfur and nitrogen atoms that fatty oils do not have.
