What are the methods of extracting essential oils?

The process of extracting essential oils is to use steam distillation to extract the materials through water-repellent or co-water distillation. It is suitable for the extraction of conventional oils and aromatic oils from plant branches, leaves, flowers, grasses and animal materials with higher oil content. TOPTION essential oil distillation equipment is widely praised and widely used in universities, research institutes, laboratory research and development departments of enterprises and institutions, and pharmaceutical factories.

What are the methods of extracting essential oils?
1. In water distillation is suitable for some fresh flowers, broken peels and easily bonded raw materials, such as roses, orange blossoms, etc. However, the lipid components in essential oils distilled in water are easily hydrolyzed, so spice plants with high lipid content such as lavender cannot be used. 
2. Up water distillation is widely used. A large area of aromatic plants such as peppermint, citronella, eucalyptus leaves, etc. are all extracted by water distillation to extract essential oils. This method is also suitable for crushed dry raw materials including Certain dried flowers.
3. Direct steam distillation, the operation process is basically the same as the water distillation method, but the source and pressure of the steam are different. This method is directly distilled from external boiler steam.

Different extraction distillation method have different advantages, also suitable for different material, want to buy essential oil extraction equipment directly from factory to save cost, TOPTION will be your TOP OPTION, customization support, visit TOPTION website for more.

How much does rotary evaporator cost?

Rotary evaporator has become the best choice for many customers because of its economical price, simple structure and easy operation. It is an ideal equipment for laboratory evaporation /concentration /removal solvent /alcohol recovery. We all want to buy a cheaper rotary evaporator, but many of the equipment that looks very similar from the picture is actually quite different. Let's take a look at what are the points we need to pay attention to when choosing a rotary evaporator? The rotary evaporators are similar, but the quality is different. It is embodied in: glass thickness, electronic component brand, gasket material, workmanship and experience of rotating and lifting parts. These will determine the service life of the rotary evaporator, the system vacuum degree, the corrosion resistance, and the evaporation efficiency,etc. In short, price is one aspect, quality and service are also very important. If you choose a complete set of rotary evaporator equipment, you must consid...

Plant oil extraction method

Plant oil extraction such as essential oil distillation , clove oil extraction, fish oil extraction,curcuma oil extraction etc, is more and more popular welcomed by researchers, even for some home laboratory, simple distillation units such as 2L 5L glass short path distillation kit, are hotsaled as its cheap price and easy operation. In fact,for plant oil extraction , the oldest & most common method is alcohol extraction, which has excellent solubility in lower alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol, and as all known, essential oil extraction is effective as long as the water content in the alcohol is small. But alcohol extraction is also not popular as use ethanol, as alcohole extraction require high pressure extraction condition. Compared with alcohol extraction, use ethanol is more health and safety, more easier to handing for researchers. Most important, extraction with ethanol will produce a full spectrum extract that contributes to the synergistic activity of plant oil to e...
