Essential oils are volatile chemical compounds extracted from plant materials and are widely used for various applications such as aromatherapy, food, fragrance, medicines (antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, etc.) and cosmetics (Irshad et al. 2020). These aromatic products can be extracted from different parts of the plants such as leaves (bay, peppermint), bark (cinnamon, cassia), root (ginger), stem (geranium, patchouli), flowers (rose, lavender), seeds (cardamom), grass (palmarosa, citronella, lemongrass), buds (clove), etc. (El Asbahani et al. 2015; Rahman et al. 2019). Essential oils are mainly composed of terpenoids (Ozturk and Gonzalez-Miquel 2019) and highly oxygenated compounds such as alcohol (Chen and Viljoen 2010), aldehyde (Boughendjioua and Djeddi 2018), ester (Mastelić, Politeo, and Jerković 2008), ketones (Menut et al. 1999), phenol (Hossain and Shah 2015), ethers (Wang et al. 2020) and oxides (Orav, Raal, and Arak 2010).
