Bergamot essential oil is a multi-beneficial essential oil obtained from the fruits of the bergamot tree. Chemically, it is a complex mixture of many classes of organic substances, particularly in the volatile fraction, including terpenes, esters, alcohols and aldehydes, and for the non-volatile fraction, oxygenated heterocyclic compounds as coumarins and furanocoumarins.

Bergamot Oil contains several bioactive molecules with potential health benefits. It is composed of both a volatile (93–96% of total) and a non-volatile (4–7% of total) fraction. The first is mainly represented by monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, and their oxygenated derivatives, along with aliphatic aldehydes, alcohols, and esters. They include monoterpene limonene (25–53%) and high quantities of oxygenated compounds, such as linalool (2–20%), linalyl acetate (15–40%), γ-terpinene, and β-pinene. The non-volatile fraction (4–7% of total) contains pigments, waxes, coumarins, and psoralens, as well as bergamottine. Essential oil has been prepared for perfumery and cosmetic uses.
