  • How is peppermint oil extracted?
  • Peppermint oil is extracted from peppermint plant leaves through the steam distillation process. The boiler, distillery, and condenser are the main components of the distillation system. Steam distillation is a process in which water is heated up to boiling point by a heat source and converted into steam in the boiler.
  • Can a steam distillation system extract peppermint oil from leaves?
  • Radwan et al. (2020) designed the conventional and solar energy based steam distillation system to extract the peppermint oil from leaves. The setups for conventional and solar energy based distillation are shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, respectively. An electrical heat source was used for evaporation of water in a conventional distillation system.
  • How efficient is solar distillation system for peppermint oil extraction?
  • A secondary receiver was used to focus the radiation received from disc to boiler. The efficiency of the system was achieved to 33.21% and 1.548 kW thermal powers available for the distillation process. An average 3.5 kWh energy was consumed for the processing of 10 kg batch .

  • How efficient is peppermint oil extraction?
  • Results revealed that the extraction efficiency (88.57%), essential oil yield (0.797% (w/w)) and energy requirements (0.475 kWh/mL) were in the optimum conditions of 1.5 L/h water flow rate and 700 g batch size of peppermint plant .
