Essential
oils components
Essential
oils components and percentage are different from oil to oil even for the
same botanical plant due to:
- Weather and planting time:
Most of herbs are planted and small amount are wild grown and collected.
Plants which grow e.g. spearmint, the oil percentage of summer crop is double from winter crop. and the oil percentage from the first summer is different from the second of the plant life in the same field. The components percentage of the oil are different from season to another.- Soil elements:
The B-phellandrene percentage increased in marjoram oil with the higher levels of molybdenum manganese, copper, calcium, zinc or iron.- Irrigation:
The highest yield of plant material resulted from increasing the leaf area e.g. basil field irrigate every 4 days. The essential oil is highest at medium levels of soil moisture.- Time of harvest:
The peppermint oil yield increased as the herb approached maturity, full bloom stage.- Distillation method:
We have standard methods of distillation for each green leaf, dry leaf and seed even for the same botanical plant.

Distillation
Operation
Turn
the burner on to heat the boiler, fill the container with herbs or seeds
and begin the steam circle by passing a huge amount of steam from boiler
to container and continue passing steam to the end of the operation. The
pressure inside the boiler and the container are higher degree(s) than
the atmospheric pressure. In the container, steam is coming from boiler
threw tube to container to crash the plants cells and free the oil, which
will continue threw tube to the condenser to condense oil by cooling the
vapo(u)r. Cooling the vapo(u)r making the pressure of condencer (normal
pressure) is lawer than the container and helps to drag more vapo(u)r from
container. Then collecting the resulting liquid in compiler, and separate
oil from floral water.
| 1- | Fresh, fade, or dry herbs (spices), it takes addition time for distillation if the herb is fade, and more if it's fresh. |
| 2- | Leaves take less time than seeds because leaves are thin than seeds and cells are surface in leaves than seeds. |
| 3- | The amount (density) of herb (spices) inside the container. |
| 4- | In commercial distillers -not scientific reason- when the cost of distillation operation equals the market price, and this isn't acceptance because the oil exterior may have less components. |
