Objective: Medical treatments and preventions have made use of essential oils since the middle ages. Bactericidal, fungicidal, and antioxidant characteristics are among the various uses for essential oils in the fields of sanitation, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, and food. The volatile components of these plants are phenol-derived aromatics, aliphatic compounds, and terpenes and terpenoids.
Material and Methods: Our paper discusses some of the biochemical properties of essential oils, including their antimicrobial properties, which can be used instead of dangerous synthetic fungicidal and bactericidal products. Articles were related to searching keywords such as essential oils, agents, Medicinal plants. PubMed, Google Scholar and SID databases were used as search sources.
Results: Essential oils are used as antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and insecticidal compounds
Conclusion: In recent years, increasing interest has been shown in the possibility of using essential oils as antimicrobials and preservatives in various industries.
