essential oils VISSO BelCol
The primary method for extracting essential oils is steam distillation. Prior to the actual process, the raw material is chopped. This opens the oil cells and makes them more accessible to the steam. Flowers and leaves, in which the oil is contained in thin-walled cells directly beneath the surface, do not require further processing. Roots and herbs are chopped, dried plants can be ground, seeds crushed and wood grated. Naturally, not all cells are opened during this treatment; some of the essential oils also escape from the closed cells.
The better the plant parts are prepared, the faster the distillation process proceeds. In steam distillation, superheated steam is used, which is passed through the plant material lying on a grate. The intense heat allows even substances with very high boiling points to be extracted. Other methods include distillation with water, dry distillation and pressing. Distillation with water is very similar to steam distillation, except that the plant material is in direct contact with the boiling water. Dry distillation is suitable for only a few plants, whilst mechanical pressing is mainly used for citrus fruit peel.
