Department of Chemistry Universitas Islam Indonesia has three research excellences including the field of chemical development of essential oils; materials and electrochemistry for the environment and energy; as well as the isolation and modification of non-essential organic compounds for food and health. The field of Essential Oil Development which is supported by the existence of CEOS has produced several publications related to Essential Oils, including the following:
