Distillation Methods of Essential Oils

Abstract

Methods used for obtaining essential oils can be ranged as simple, fractional, vacuum, water-steam distillations and micro-wave assisted hydro distillation. Distillation methods are mainly based on the difference of boiling degree or the solvent and transport effect of water-steam. Vacuum can be used for accelerating the process. The success of the methods is related to presence of undesirable compounds such as waxes, flavonoids, coumarone and deterioration rate of active compounds for whatever reason. Low-temperature water-steam distillation can avoid deteriorations but it cannot block the presence of the undesirable compounds. Micro-wave assisted hydro distillation is a new method resulting with the high degree pureness. But this method has not been placed well in commercial production of essential oils. Essential oils having a high potential to be used in medical care and food industry are also used as a feed supplement with the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. It is aimed to discuss about the advantages, disadvantages of distillation methods against each other and their effects on quantity and the quality of active substances in this review.

Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty accepts articles in Turkish and English with original results in basic sciences and other applied sciences. The journal may also include compilations containing current innovations.

It was first published in 1981 as "S.Ü. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi" and was published under this name until 1984 (Number 1-4).
In 1984, its name was changed to "S.Ü. Fen-Edeb. Fak. Fen Dergisi" and it was published under this name as of the 5th issue.
When the Faculty of Letters and Sciences was separated into the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Letters with the decision of the Council of Ministers numbered 2008/4344 published in the Official Gazette dated 3 December 2008 and numbered 27073, it has been published as "Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty" between 2009-2025. 
It has been scanned in DergiPark since 2016.
