  • 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.
  • What are the different methods of essential oil extraction?
  • Different methods of essential oil extraction include steam distillation, cold pressing, CO2 extraction, etc. Plants with low amounts of essential oils require more material and time for extraction, impacting the overall yield.
  • How does the extraction method affect the quality of essential oil?
  • The extraction method significantly influences the quality of the essential oil, depending on the pressure and temperatures used. After distillation, the essential oil and water separate, allowing the pure oil to be collected from the top. Different methods are more effective for particular plant types and parts.
  • How does essential oil extraction work?
  • When you use this process of extraction you put your plants into a container filled with your choice of carrier oil. The plant stays in this container for around two weeks. At that point, you strain the plant and you are left with essential oil.
