Volatile oils, also known as essential oils, are aromatic oily liquids extracted from plants. They are composed of hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, phenols, acids, and sulfur compounds. Their purity and quality can be determined by appearance, odor, color, specific gravity, refractive index, and distillation behavior. Various analytical techniques are used to measure characteristics like acid value, ester value, and content of specific chemical components such as aldehydes, ketones, and phenols.
