TL;DR: This approach affords, for the first time, to quantify tea tree oil markers in the different skin layers while avoiding using solvents and overcoming the existing methods based on solvent extraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors verify the application of two approaches (i.e., normalised relative abundance and absolute quantitation) to detect EO adulterations, with examples involving selected commercial EO (lavender, bergamot and tea tree) adulterated with synthetic components, EO of different origin and lower economical values and heavy vegetable oils.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that EO oils are a promising source of potential α-amylase inhibitors, and the identification of 1,8-cineole, 4-terpineol, β-pinene, and β- pinene as bioactive compounds are confirmed when they were tested singularly.

TL;DR: A method to discriminate frankincenses based on vacuum assisted headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with Fast GC-MS with ionic liquid-based stationary phases was successfully applied to commercial frankincense samples.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the in vitro tyrosinase inhibitory activity of these EOs and studies, using bio-assay oriented fractionation, whether their differing chemical compositions influence the overall EO inhibitory activities via possible synergistic, additive, and/or competitive interactions between EOs components.
