název	Essential oils from plants – their biosynthetic origin, structure and uses
anotace	Essential oils are fragrant principles stored in special plant cells – glands, glandular hairs, oil or resin ducts, situated in any part of a plant. Most oils consist of complex mixtures of chemical compounds, and it is often the unique chemical combination rather than a single component, that is responsible for therapeutic or other bioactivities. Major categories are represented by monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, phenols, phenylpropanoids and their various derivatives. The oils are used in pharmaceutical, food, drink, cosmetic and agricultural industries. These natural products also serve as a template for identical or artificial synthetic substances and are important sources of novel fragrance, flavour and medicinal compounds.
