| Résumé : |
As consumers favour natural essential oils over synthetic alternatives, the price of essential oil escalates, maily due to expensive production costs. The rising monetary value of plant oil tempts unscrupulus companies in the industry to produce and sell adulterated essential oils tainted with cheaper synthetic ingredients. The onus is on distributors and manufacturers downstream to identify these alduterated products before they reach the consumer market.
In many cases, it is difficult to distinguish between naturally derived ingredients and synthetic alternatives. Natural product testing through carbon-14 analysis authenticates plant-sourced ingredients while also acting as a screening tool to detect synthetic alduterants manufactured from petrochemicals. |
