Essential Oils Extraction

Processes, Machinery & Equipments:
 
 -Pressing
 -Enfleurage for jasmine or tuberose
 -Steam, water or dry distillation
 -Solvent Extraction: Extracting delicate oils that can be damaged by distillation or other methods using solvents to dissolve the oils.
 -Supercritical Fluid Extraction using Carbon dioxide  
 -Concretes : Extraction by     hydrocarbon-type solvents
 -Resinoids : Extraction with a hydrocarbon solvent petroleum ether or hexeme
 -Absolutes : Second process of solvent extraction from the concrete. Subjected to repeated treatment with alcohol resulting in highly concentrated viscous liquids
 -Pomades : True pomades are produced using a process known as enfleurage;an alcohol extraction of the fragrance-saturated fat to produce the pure absolute or perfume 
 -Naturol Technology
 -Quality Control Equipments
