Suradeep Basak

Example:

1 kg lemongrass leaves contains 1 ml essential oil: Essential oil content

A perfume bottle has 1mg/L of lemongrass essential oil: Essential oil concentration

B.R. Rajeswara Rao

Dear Basak

The question is with reference or respect to aromatic plants.

Best wishes and good luck.

Sir,

Are you asking for concentration of any particular component of essential oil?

No, essential oil as a whole.

Can we use these two terms synonymously with respect to aromatic plants? or are they different?

Sir, my first reply is valid for any kind of plant source having essential oil (EO). And EO content is more preferable over EO concentration when you consider EO as a whole from plant.
