Description	Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile compounds produced by living organisms and isolated by physical means only (pressing and distillation) from a whole plant or plant part of known taxonomic origin. The respective main compounds are mainly derived from three biosynthetic pathways only, the mevalonate pathway leading to sesquiterpenes, the methyl-erythritol pathway leading to mono- and diterpenes, and the shikimic acid pathway en route to phenylpropenes. Nevertheless, there are an almost uncountable number of single substances and a tremendous variation in the composition of essential oils. Many of these volatile substances have diverse ecological functions. They can act as internal messengers, as defensive substances against herbivores, or as volatiles not only directing natural enemies to these herbivores but also attracting pollinating insects to their host (Harrewijn et al., 2001).
