Hydrosol soft drinks in Persian nutrition culture are produced as side products of the essential oil industry to be used as safe remedies for treatment of some ailments. This study investigated hydrosols for women's hormonal health conditions. Detailed information was gathered by questionnaires. Chemical constituents of these mono- or poly-herbal hydrosols were identified after liquid/liquid extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Hierarchical cluster and K-means analysis (SPSS software) were used to find their relevance. A literature survey was also performed. In most cases, thymol, carvacrol, and carvone were the major constituents except for dill, white horehound, willow, Moderr, and yarrow hydrosols, whose their major components were dill ether, menthol, phenethyl alcohol, linalool, or camphor. Based on clustering methods, some similarities could be found in their constituents with some exceptions. None of them have been studied scientifically before. These investigations may lead to the development of some functional drinks or even new lead components.
在波斯营养文化中，水溶胶软饮料是作为香精油工业的副产品生产的，用作治疗某些疾病的安全药物。本研究调查了水溶胶对女性激素健康状况的影响。通过问卷调查收集详细信息。在液/液萃取和气相色谱-质谱分析后，确定了这些单草药或多草药水溶胶的化学成分。使用层次聚类和K均值分析（SPSS软件）来找出它们的相关性。还进行了文献调查。在大多数情况下，百里香酚、香芹酚和香芹酮是主要成分，但莳萝、白夏至草、柳树、莫德尔和欧蓍草水溶胶除外，它们的主要成分是莳萝醚、薄荷醇、苯乙醇、芳樟醇或樟脑。基于聚类方法，除了一些例外情况，在它们的成分中可以发现一些相似之处。此前没有对它们进行过科学研究。这些研究可能会促成一些功能性饮料甚至新的先导成分的开发。
