Its cosmetic, healing properties in aromatherapy have been known to Eastern cultures for thousands of years. The quality of an essential oil depends not only on the naturalness of its components, but also on the method of production and storage. The properties of the oil are also affected by the area in which the plants grew. Methods for making essential oils have been known for thousands of years and have not changed much in that time: Distillation method: Water vapor is used to extract the oil from plants. Some plants need to be put into production immediately after harvest, others can even be used dried. The technology involves the processing of raw materials with hot steam, when the cells of the plant are torn under the influence of high temperature. The oil is released into the water, remaining in a special reservoir. Insoluble oil can be easily separated from water. Usually it is light and is on the surface, but in some cases (clove oil) settles on the bottom. Vacuum "distillation" method: It is used to delicately refine the oil. The oil is extracted under low pressure conditions at low temperatures. Cold pressing method For extracting essential oils from citrus fruits as well as jojoba. The oil in these fruits is concentrated in sacs under a thick peel. To get the oil through the incision, it is manually squeezed out by soaking it into a sponge. Today, technology has mechanized this stage, while maintaining the high quality of the final product. Extraction method Involves obtaining a solution of oils. This method is used to extract essential oils from rosin, flowers and resins. The technology is used to increase the output oil. For example, jasmine oil is inefficiently steamed. Plant materials are exposed to a hydrocarbon solvent. By slowly increasing the temperature, concrete is obtained. To obtain an absolute, it is filtered and then mixed with alcohol. Enfleurage Technology of obtaining absolute. Cold-cleaned, odorless fat absorbs oil from vegetable raw materials. The method is laborious and expensive. Using carbon dioxide A relatively new technology for extracting pure essential oils free from residual CO2 components. Hydrodiffusion The latest method for obtaining essential oils of the highest quality. The technology involves the action of steam, but the processes of extracting oil are much faster than with classical "distillation". Maceration Plant raw materials are placed in a container with heated vegetable oil for several days, maintaining the temperature. The plant releases essential oils into the original oil. At the final stage, the mixture is filtered and bottled. How to determine quality: Low quality essential oils may contain vegetable oils. Cosmetic and healing properties of the product in this case may be reduced. To determine the quality of the oil, put a little on the filter paper. The film and stain should disappear after a while. Storage method: Natural essential oil is afraid of direct sunlight. Keep it in a cool place, in a tightly closed dark glass or ceramic bottle.
