Cloves & Clove Oil Profile
Abstract
Clove oil is the essential oil of the clove plant, and may be derived from flower buds, leaves and stems. The principal biologically active component is eugenol. Clove oil may be used as an insecticide, fungicide or herbicide. Because it is a common ingredient in food, the EPA considers risks to human health to be minimal.
