Essence and fragrance industry is a relatively cold industry. Not many people know about it, and even fewer people know about it.

When I talked about essence and fragrances with many friends, most people's understanding remained at the level of ignorance. They always thought that the so-called essence and fragrances were perfume, soaps and shower gels for daily use, or aromatherapy for hospitality, incense plants for worship, etc;

This kind of understanding, although ridiculous, is understandable because most people know nothing about the industrial properties of fragrant raw materials.

Three major fields of essence and spice industry

In fact, essence and fragrance industry is a basic raw material industry, and its main application end is three major fields, first is medicine industry, with the largest consumption, second is food industry, and last is daily chemical industry. In terms of proportion, the latter is not high.

Essence and fragrance industry can be divided into essence and essence. Generally speaking, essence is the downstream product of essence and fragrance. It uses essence and fragrance as raw materials, has the nature of flavor mixing industry, and belongs to fine chemical industry. The basic industry chain of essence and fragrance is much broader, including essence industry, with different extension concepts.

The profit value of essence industry is quite high. Because of this, the essence market in the world is basically monopolized by the famous "eight companies". Most of these eight companies are European and American enterprises, and most of them are giants with a history of hundreds of years. They capture excess wealth through market monopoly every year. There is only one Asian company among the eight major corporations, namely Shiseido from Japan.

I will not talk about essence industry here, because it is not easy for Chinese people to enter that field and the domestic market is not shaped, so I will mainly talk about essence and spice industry, especially natural essence and spice.

Essence and fragrances can be divided into synthetic essence and natural essence. As its name implies, synthetic essence and fragrances are chemical products produced with the help of a certain synthetic base using the synthetic technology of modern chemical industry. It has the properties of essence and fragrances, but it does not have optical activity, that is, it is inorganic and has no organic activity.

It goes without saying that the vast majority of industrial products we currently use are synthetic fragrance materials, including pharmaceuticals.

Natural essence and spice refer to the plant essence extracted from some natural plants (the extraction process is not complicated, most of them are distilled, most of them are oil, and very few are alcohols). The extraction site varies according to the type, but it is always inseparable from branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, stems, skins, etc. Some even secrete crystals or breeding galls from plants.

Preserving and extracting from heaven and earth, and extracting from the world, is called preserving and extracting. At the right time, seeing countless postures is called 'Tu Jian'.
