Resumen
LEON-MENDEZ, Glicerio et al. Essential oils as a source of bioactive molecules. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2019, vol.48, n.1, pp.80-93. ISSN 0034-7418. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcciquifa.v48n1.80067.
Nature gives us a large number of compounds with interesting biological properties, within them we have essential oils, which are an important source of new bioactive molecules, which can replace synthetic chemicals, since they are friendly to the environment and they are less toxic. Currently there are more than 20.000 publications in which essential oils are related to some biological activity, according to the search made in different databases until January 2018. This confirms the wide utility of essential oils as the main source of bioactive metabolites, which can be used in different areas of our life.
