Lavender is a lavender of the family Lamiaceae. Lavender essential oil is refined from lavender, which can clear away heat and detoxify, cleanse skin, control oil, whitening, wrinkle and rejuvenation, remove dark circles under the eyes, and promote skin regeneration of damaged tissue. Lavender essential oil also has a calming effect on the heart, which can lower high blood pressure, soothe heart palpitations, and is very helpful for insomnia.

- distillation Method of lavender essential oil Lavender essential rate is about 0.5% .
The steaming method is the first method of refining. The basic principle is to place the aromatic plants in a distillation container and then pass the high-temperature steam into it (or put the spices and water together to boil). At this time, the plant contains aromatic ingredients. The essential oil will diffuse into the water vapor to form an azeotrope of oil and water; thereafter, the azeotrope is cooled, and since the oil is insoluble in water, it is separated from the water to form the essential oil we need.
The distillation method is very convenient and does not require the use of chemical solvents, so the current application is still very common. Roses, lavender, rosemary, geranium, etc. are mostly used in this way.
By cutting, pulverizing, and extruding, the water of the plant and the essential oil containing the aromatic component are separated from the raw material to obtain a mixture of water and oil, and then the oil and water are separated by centrifugation, filtration, etc., and an essential oil is obtained.
Plants such as citrus, lemon, bergamot, and lime will become odorous in the high temperature of water vapor, and it is not suitable to use steam distillation, so most of them are used.
Soaking method (fat oil immersion method):
The plant material (petal or resin, etc.) is placed in a liquid fat, heated and maintained at a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees, and the aromatic component of the raw material is released into the liquid fat. The liquid grease is then separated by filtration to obtain an essential oil. .
This method can be used for frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, and the like.
solvent Extraction method (dissolution method):
The liquid solvent such as alcohol or petroleum ether is thoroughly mixed with the plant material, and the aromatic components in the raw material, as well as the vegetable wax and the pigment, are dissolved and released into the solvent; and then the solvent is separated from the liquid mixture to obtain a fragrance. An extract of ingredients, plant waxes, pigments, etc.; finally, the extract is purified to obtain an essential oil. This method is commonly used to extract essential oils from plants such as cinnamon, sage, and benzoin.
supercritical CO2” extraction
The principle is that the density of carbon dioxide under high pressure or low temperature is close to liquid, while retaining some properties of ordinary gas, which is called “supercritical fluid”, which has strong solvency. When the spice plants come into contact with it, the aromatic components of the plant dissolve in the fluid. The aromatic component can then be finally separated by means of reduced pressure or elevated temperature.
This is a new method that has emerged internationally in recent years. The method can make the extraction of the essential oil can be carried out under normal temperature conditions, and does not need to use a solvent harmful to the human body, and can better protect the natural activity of the product, and is a relatively advanced “green separation technology”. (Traditional steam distillation, pressing, leaching and other separation methods have some shortcomings in the process, such as the natural active ingredients are vulnerable to damage, and the organic products that may be harmful to the human body may remain in the final product.) However, the current cost of this method is still high and has not been widely applied.
