“…For these cases, the phenomena of leaching, convection, diffusion and dialysis are involved. To ensure the implementation of the referenced mechanisms, extraction may involve steam distillation, hydro distillation, flowering, cold pressing, solvent extraction and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) (SCHNEIDER, 2002;Ferreira, 2016;Silva, 2019;Scheneider, 2002) As noted by Ash (2018) the selection of the type of extraction to be adopted in the production of essential oil from oil seeds depends on the physical and chemical characteristics of the seed, mainly concerning the particle size, the solvent involved, the process temperature, and, mainly, the oil content present in the seed.…”
