Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 54, Essential oils, in collaboration with
the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/SS C01, Food Products,
in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9235:2013), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates Technical Corrigendum ISO 9235:2013/Cor 1:2014.
The main changes to the previous edition are as follows:
— modification of the definition in 3.13;
— addition of 3.19.

Introduction
This document falls within the framework of the standardization work conducted within the essential
oils sector. It is aimed at defining the natural raw materials and products which stem from that sector.
It is not intended to integrate all the provisions of other sectors of activity which use the products
defined in this document (e.g. perfumes or fragrances, cosmetics, food industry flavours).
A thematic index and an alphabetical index of terms are included at the end of this document.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9235:2021(E)
Aromatic natural raw materials — Vocabulary
1 Scope
This document specifies the terms and definitions relating to aromatic natural raw materials.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
absolute
product obtained by extraction with ethanol from a concrete (3.7), a pomade (3.23), a resinoid (3.27) or
a supercritical fluid extract (3.28)
Note 1 to entry: The ethanolic solution is generally cooled down and filtered in order to eliminate the “waxes”;
the ethanol is then eliminated by distillation.
3.2
alcoholate
distillate (3.8) which results from the distillation of a natural raw material (3.20) in presence of ethanol
at variable concentrations
3.3
aromatic water
hydrolate
aqueous distillate (3.8) which remains after steam distillation and separation of the essential oil (3.11)
whenever possible
EXAMPLE Lavender hydrolate (water), orange blossom water.
Note 1 to entry: A floral water or a “plant name” water is an aromatic water.
Note 2 to entry: Aromatic water can undergo physical treatments which do not result in any significant changes
in its composition (e.g. filtration, decantation, centrifugation).
3.4
balsam
oleoresin (3.18) characterized in particular by the presence of benzoic derivatives, cinnamic derivatives
or both
EXAMPLE Peru balsam, Tolu balsam, benzoin, styrax.
3.5
cold-pressed essential oil
essential oil (3.11) obtained by mechanical processes from the epicarp of the fruit of a citrus, at ambient
temperature
ISO 9235:2021(E)
3.6
concentrated essential oil
folded oil
essential oil (3.11) treated by a physical process in order to concentrate one or more components
considered to be of interest
3.7
concrete
extract (3.13) obtained from a fresh natural raw material (3.20) by extraction with one or several
solvents
Note 1 to entry: The solvent or solvents are then totally or partly removed.
3.8
distillate
product of condensation obtained after distillation of a natural raw material (3.20)
3.9
dry-distilled essential oil
essential oil (3.11) obtained by distillation of wood, barks, roots or gums, without addition of water or
steam
EXAMPLE Birch tar essential oil.
3.10
essential oil of fruit juice
essential oil (3.11) obtained from a fruit juice during its concentration or during UHT (flash
pasteurization) treatment
Note 1 to entry: The water and aromatic oils are separated to yield an aromatic oil phase and a dilute water
phase, which contains the water-soluble aromatic components.
3.11
essential oil
product obtained from a natural raw material (3.20) of plant origin, by steam distillation, by mechanical
processes from the epicarp of citrus fruits or by dry distillation, after separation of the aqueous phase
– if any – by physical processes
Note 1 to entry: The essential oil can undergo physical treatments which do not result in any significant change
in its composition (e.g. filtration, decantation, centrifugation).
Note 2 to entry: The phrase “Essential oil of .” has been used instead of “Oil of …” in all ISO/TC 54 standards
published since 2010.
3.12
essential oil obtained by steam distillation
essential oil (3.11) which is obtained by steam distillation with addition of water to the still
(hydrodistillation) or without addition of water to the still (directly by steam)
EXAMPLE Essential oil of orris (commonly named “iris butter”).
3.13
extract
product obtained by treating a natural raw material (3.20) or a
