Do essential oil distillation units have a knowledge center?

PLoS One. 2024; 19 (2): e0299502. Essential oil (EO) distillation units, which are commonly installed on farms, have difficultly accessing knowledge centers. The apparent simplicity of the process hides unwanted losses and deviations that go undetected and, therefore, not corrected.

How essential oils are extracted from plants?

The conventional method of segregating unpredictable mixtures as essential oils is distillation. The boiling point of these oils is usually high, which evaporate near boiling point of water. This forms the basis of using water or steam for distillation methods and was most commonly used method for extraction of essential oils from herbal plants.

Why is steam distillation important in essential oil extraction?

It is common knowledge that the extraction method employed is one of the most critical factors in the process of obtaining EO. Steam distillation is widely applied in the essential oil industry, accounting for more than 93% of the oil volume produced worldwide [ 1 ].

What are the different types of essential oil extraction methods?

Popular extraction methods include: Steam Distillation, Solvent Extraction, CO2 Extraction, Maceration, Enfleurage, Cold Press Extraction, and Water Distillation. The method of extraction affects essential oil quality by way of pressure and temperatures applied.
