Abstract

Abstract: Tea tree oil is the common name for the volatile essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia leaves. In this paper, we review recent progress in the chemical components and quality and safety standards of tea tree oil. Meanwhile, the antibacterial and antifungal activity and mechanism of action of tea tree oil and its antiviral, insecticidal and antiinflammatory activity as well as its applications in the fields of medicine and food are summarized. The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical basis for comprehensive utilization of tea tree oil.

Key words: tea tree oil, antibacterial, antivirus, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory
