  • What are the methods used to extract essential oil from plants?
  • The methods used to extract essential oil from these plants are; steam distillation (SD), solvent-assisted extraction, hydro distillation (HD), ultrasonic-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction and solvent-free microwave extraction ( Belhachat et al., 2018 ). Oil extraction techniques are classified as shown in Fig. 1.
  • Can hydrodistillation extract essential oils from medicinal and aromatic plants?
  • Hydrodistillation methods have been used to extract essential oils from medicinal and aromatic plants for decades. This article provides a cutting-edge review of the hydrodistillation methods used for essential oil extraction to assess their efficacy. Ten medicinal and aromatic plants were chosen for this evaluation.
  • What is HD essential oil extraction?
  • HD has become the standard method of essential oil extraction from plant material such as wood or flower, which is often used to isolate nonwater-soluble natural products with high boiling point. The process involves the complete immersion of plant materials in water, followed by boiling.
  • How essential oils are extracted by steam distillation?
  • The proportion of essential oils extracted by steam distillation is 93% and the remaining 7% can be further extracted by other methods (Masango 2005). Basically, the plant sample is placed in boiling water or heated by steam (Figure 1). The heat applied is the main cause of burst and break down of cell structure of plant material.
