As can be seen from table 2 above, the proportion of beta waves increases before and after smelling the fragrance of the compound essential oil, and the significant difference (p < 0.01) shows that brain waves representing excitation reaction and active thinking are excited; the decrease in the delta wave ratio indicates a decrease in the ratio of brain waves representing fatigue and shows a significant difference (p < 0.05). The compound essential oil fragrance is smelled, so that the thinking can be activated, the memory can be improved, and the brain fatigue can be relieved.
4. Sensory evaluation experiment
100 volunteers of different sexes and ages were recruited, and the aroma of 6 single essential oils and compound essential oils with refreshing effect, namely, eucalyptol rosemary essential oil, lemon essential oil, peppermint essential oil, borneol camphor essential oil, juniper berry essential oil and clove essential oil, was evaluated by an aroma preference evaluation table (scores of 0-9). Eucalyptol rosemary, peppermint, juniper berry, clove and lemon are common essential oils with refreshing effect, but have disadvantages. The fragrance of eucalyptol rosemary is less favored, and is not suitable for people with high blood pressure when used alone. The aroma of peppermint and clove is high in aroma ratio value, strong in irritation and obvious in dislike degree. The juniper berry essential oil has weak natural fragrance and general fragrance preference. Borneol camphor is a special camphor tree variety in China, is a new variety in essential oil resources, and is also a special essential oil in the formula.
The evaluation results are shown in the following table 2:
table 2 sensory evaluation results
As shown in table 2 above, in the evaluation of natural feeling of fragrance, refreshing feeling of fragrance and preference degree of fragrance, the compound essential oil is superior to other single essential oils, which indicates that the compound formula achieves good synergistic effect.
