Extraction Process of Essential Oils
Essential oils are concentrated, aromatic compounds extracted from plants.
The extraction process is crucial in preserving the natural essence and 
therapeutic properties of these oils. Some of the extraction process are 
mentioned below:
Steam Distillation
 Steam distillation is the most common method of essential oil extraction.
 It involves passing steam through plant material to release volatile compounds.
 The steam vapor is then condensed, separating essential oil from water.
Cold-Press Extraction
 This method is primarily used for obtaining citrus oils.
 The peels are mechanically pressed to release the oil.
 Cold-pressing ensures minimal heat exposure, preserving the oil's aroma.
Solvent Extraction
 Solvent extraction is employed for delicate flowers and plants.
 Solvents like hexane are used to dissolve essential oils from plant material.
 After evaporation, a waxy substance known as "concrete" remains, from which the oil is further 
extracted.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extraction
 A modern method utilizing supercritical CO2 as a solvent.
 CO2 is compressed to a supercritical state, allowing it to act as both a gas and a liquid.
 This method yields high-quality oils and preserves more delicate compounds.
