     Molecular dynamics simulations have shown that essential oil constituents like perillaldehyde or perillyl alcohol carrying more hydrophilic groups require more energy to traverse the membrane and have a 700-fold slower flip-flop rate than the nonpolar constituent limonene (Witzke et al., 2010).
