  • 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.
  • Does power output affect the extraction rate of essential oil from peppermint plants?
  • However, the energy consumption to extract 1 ml of EO is 55.55% lower than SD system. The result concluded that power output affects the rate of extraction of essential oil from peppermint plants. The extraction rate of essential oil increased with an increase in the power output.
  • How to isolate Peppermint EO?
  • Hydrodistillation (HD), a proven conventional method, and a possible alternative in the form of microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MWHD) have been used to isolate peppermint EO. Standard Soxhlet and alternatively supercritical fluid (SFE), microwave-assisted, and ultrasound-assisted extraction separated the lipid extracts.
