Methods for the treatment of essential oil compositions to produce treated essential oils are described. The methods involve contacting a essential oil composition with an adsorbent material then separating the treated essential oil from the adsorbent material. These methods can be used, for example, to produce treated essential oils with enhanced acceptability, usability, or stability for the food processing industry. L'invention concerne des procédés de traitement de compositions d'huiles essentielles pour produire des huiles essentielles traitées. Le procédé comporte la mise en contact d'une composition d'huile essentielle avec un matériau adsorbant suivie de la séparation de l'huile essentielle traitée du matériau adsorbant. Ces procédés peuvent être utilisés, par exemple, pour produire des huiles essentielles traitées avec des propriétés améliorées d'acceptabilité, de facilité d'utilisation et de stabilité pour l'industrie de la transformation des aliments.
