Full Description
Essential Oil Distillation Handbook: Evolution, Theory, Practice, Chemistry and Applications is a practical guide to distilling, covering plants and their volatile compounds, the essential oil industry, the aromatic plant distillation theory and application, aromatic materials and conservation issues, post-distillation practices, and marketing opportunities. The first section covers the metabolism and role of volatile compounds found in aromatic plants, their chemistry, their interactions with the human olfactory system and their effects, as well as the history of the human use of aromatic plants and the history of distillation. The second part covers distillation, from the theory of its various declinations and varieties, to the machinery and components needed, to the practice of distillation, with many examples from the authors' direct experience. The book also explores innovative techniques in distillation and solvent extraction, the post-distillation practices, the main aromatic plants, and brings a chapter on the pharmacological applications of essential oils. This complete guide provides practical numerical tables on vapor pressure and boiling points, that are of practical value for the operative distiller.
