The present study focused on the modification of the chemical profile of selected terpenes and enriched lemon essential oil through lipase-catalyzed transesterification with the aim to broaden their applications. The reaction capacities of 3 terpenes (eugenol, thymol, geraniol) with vinyl esters (vi...
