      title = {Essential oil research : trends in biosynthesis,  analytics, industrial applications and biotechnological  production /},
      abstract = {This book highlights the advances in essential oil  research, from the plant physiology perspective to  large-scale production, including bioanalytical methods and  industrial applications. The book is divided into 4  sections. The first one is focused on essential oil  composition and why plants produce these compounds that  have been used by humans since ancient times. Part 2  presents an update on the use of essential oils in various  areas, including food and pharma industries as well as  agriculture. In part 3 readers will find new trends in  bioanalytical methods. Lastly, part 4 presents a number of  approaches to increase essential oil production, such as in  vitro and hairy root culture, metabolic engineering and  biotechnology. Altogether, this volume offers a  comprehensive look at what researchers have been doing over  the last years to better understand these compounds and how  to explore them for the benefit of the society.},
