Provided are methods for extracting flavor and fragrance materials from natural plant materials, using poly(trimethylene ether) glycol homopolymers and copolymers. The poly(trimethylene ether) glycol homopolymers and copolymers act as solubilizers for essential oils, and can be used to provide compositions having a variety of uses in applications such as cosmetics, personal care products, and industrial cleaning products. L'invention concerne des procédés d'extraction de matériaux de flaveur et de fragrance de matériaux végétaux naturels, utilisant des homopolymères et copolymères de poly(triméthylène éther) glycol. Les homopolymères et copolymères de poly(triméthylène éther) glycol agissent en tant que solubilisants pour les huiles essentielles, et peuvent être utilisés pour fournir des compositions ayant diverses utilisations dans des applications telles que les produits cosmétiques, les produits d'hygiène personnelle et les produits de nettoyage industriels.
