“…This effect could be assigned to its component, mainly limonene, although we cannot fail to consider the synergistic action of other components of C. sinensis EO. According to the study by Wolffenbüttel et al (), this original EO is composed of many terpene components, among which we highlight the 78.3% limonene ( ee 90% ( R )‐(+)‐limonene) and 1.7% linalool ( ee 86% ( S )‐(+)‐linalool).…”

“…Some of EOs are commercially produced from the leaves of Citrus aurantium Lineu (bitter orange), whose EO is called Petitgrain , and the pericarp of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (sweet orange). These EOs contain enantiomeric excess ( ee ) 28% ( R )‐(−)‐linalool and ee 42% ( R )‐(+)‐limonene in C. aurantium EO, as well as ee 86% ( S )‐(+)‐linalool and ee 90% ( R )‐(+)‐limonene in C. sinensis EO (Wolffenbüttel, Zamboni, Santos, et al, ). Some studies have shown that limonene and linalool produced an anxiolytic and sedative effect through light–dark test and locomotor activity tests (Lima, Sousa, Pimenta, et al, ; Linck, Silva, Figueiro, et al, , ).…”

The use of orange essential oils (EOs) as a complementary treatment is very common in Brazilian popular culture. The levels of melatonin (MEL) and corticosterone (CORT) hormones were investigated simultaneously, by the Luminex™ immunoassay system in mice plasma, after Citrus aurantium and Citrus sinensis EOs inhalation for 30 min. The plasma was analyzed by headspace through gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for investigation of the EO components. Mice were submitted to behavioral testing to research anxiolytic-like, sedative, and antidepressant-like effects. The inhalation of atmosphere obtained from vaporization of 10% solution of this Citrus EO separately did not affect MEL or CORT plasma levels; that is, the MEL and CORT levels did not present variation in function of the EO in the schedule used. On the other hand, the imipramine positive control used altered the level of MEL as expected. The EO constituents were detected in plasma at different ratios that is present in inhaled EO. Behavioral tests showed that the inhalation of 10% C. sinensis EO presents an anxiolytic-like and sedative effect. Thus, C. sinensis EO can be a valuable tool for treatment of the anxiety disturbs, apparently without interference with MEL and CORT physiological levels.

Only innovative products will be sustainable to open up new markets and new horizons for textile industry. As a response to consumer demand, in recent years textile manufacturers are demonstrating increasing interest in added value products by getting the insect repellents, cosmetics, antimicrobials, phase-change materials, fire retardants, counterfeiting, polychromic and thermochromic effects. Aromatherapy application in textile industry led to a series of value-added products that give besides comfort a number of other properties (anti-acne, antimicrobial, fragrance, anti-inflammatory sedation, or soothing properties). In recent years, aromatherapeutic textiles were applied in many fields such as food, cosmetics, medicine, tobacco, textiles, leather, papermaking and pharmaceutical industries. The purpose of this chapter was to present the essential oils used in textile finishing, textile supports used for aroma finishing, embedding methods and the controlled release of essential oils.
