Hydrodistillation (HD) systems have been popular for essential oils extraction from medicinal and aromatic plants for several decades. Nevertheless, they substantially consume thermal or electrical energy and have a visible carbon footprint on the environment. This article describes a state‐of‐the‐art review of the HD systems used for essential oil extraction to examine their effectiveness. From this study, it has been found that, for a microwave‐assisted system, the yield of an essential oil varies from 0.079% to 8.62%. The microwave‐assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) system yields 32% more than a conventional HD system. The average extraction time saved using the MAHD system is 67.17% compared with the traditional one. Ohmic‐assisted HD system is better than the microwave‐assisted and conventional HD system, with an 18.04% enhancement in the yield. During this study, it is also investigated that for the distillation system operating at atmospheric pressure, the extraction temperature ranges from 80°C to 120°C. This temperature can easily be attained in a solar hydrodistillation system. Several investigators have demonstrated the use of solar energy for essential oil extraction. However, these systems mostly use a concentrating collector, henceforth found bulky and expensive.

“…For example, Munir et al [18] developed a solar distillery based on Scheffler reflectors to extract peppermint, rosemary, and cumin essential oils. According to a patent analysis between 2010-2019, there is a patent registered in India [19] that uses solar thermal energy to supply steam to a specific EO extraction process.…”

Orange processing and wood production industries generate wastes in the form of orange peel and eucalyptus leaves. These residues can be valorized as feedstocks to produce essential oils. Therefore, a simultaneous orange peel and eucalyptus leaves essential oil extraction process integrating solar energy was simulated. Biomass and essential oils were simulated by using equivalence models. The coupling of solar collectors allowed the extraction of eucalyptus essential oil, with a saving of 10 % in the total energy load.

Plants are the major source of natural flavour ingredients reported for their wide applications in food and pharmaceuticals, oral care and wellness products, etc. We have investigated the water‐soluble fractions (WSF) of basil tetraploid (O. basilicum L.) for their toxicity and biological potential against Salmonella Typhimurium, a pathogen causing around one million cases of illnesses in the United States every year. The WSF obtained using a Clevenger‐type apparatus was further divided into two equal parts, one each for in‐vivo toxicity evaluation and quality assessments, respectively. The proportions of major phenylpropanoid identified as meta‐eugenol in the WSF were found in the range of 42.8‐57.9%, which was substantially in higher proportion as compared to essential oil (20.9‐23.0%). Based on sub‐acute oral toxicity data, WSF has not shown any adverse effect with levels as high as 500 µL/25g body weight in Swiss albino mice. Besides, the WSF also exhibited a maximum reduction in bacterial load in mice infected with Salmonella Typhimurium in a dose‐dependent manner. We have shown the biological potential of basil water‐soluble fraction as an effective bacterial load‐suppressing agent for the prevention of Salmonella infections in animal model.
