Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Secondary metabolites found in aromatic plants form intricate combinations that are increasingly capturing attention. These mixtures are intricate due to their composition, comprising tens or even hundreds of molecules with similar carbon structures, often present in trace amounts. The utilization of these intricate natural blends involves several stages: (i) characterizing their chemical makeup through dependable analytical techniques, (ii) assessing their biological effects, and (iii) exploring their applications across different domains. However, adapting sample preparation procedures is essential, considering the constituents' nature and the matrix under study. Notably, extracting active compounds from essential oils demands the development of reliable and consistent experimental protocols.
In light of this, the primary aim of this special issue, titled "Chemical Analysis, Bioactivity, and Application of Essential Oils," is to compile recent research advancements in this field. It seeks to broaden our understanding of essential oils and provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers to share their latest scientific endeavors regarding the isolation, characterization, bioactivity, and application of essential oils and their pure components.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
