Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Plants and plant materials have long been employed in traditional herbal remedies. In recent decades, natural resource demand has surged by 8–15% each year in Asia, North America, and Europe. Vetiver is a plant that produces essential oils and is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, and herbal medicine. The utilisation of controlled conditions can help overcome traditional cultivation challenges and may be used to modify phenotypic variance in the concentration of bioactive chemicals. The goal is to improve extract potency, minimise toxin levels, and improve extract consistency and predictability. In this review, an attempt has been made to present in vitro propagation approaches used in vetiver.
