Influence of essential oil composition on water distillation kinetics

Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop mathematical models for essential oils hydrodistillation on the basis of their components’ contribution taking into account both qualitative and quantitative aspects. This modelling approach was applied to water distillation of essential oils from coriander seeds, aniseeds and eucalyptus leaves. The results showed that the assumption considering the essential oil as a pseudo‐component with constant physical properties, already adopted in several models, is not verified when… Show more

“…The difference in relative proportion between the different compounds could be explained by the time difference of essential oil extraction, where in MAE it is not long enough to allow the most difficult molecules to be completely extracted such as the oxygenated molecules [ 16 ].…”

“…EOs are obtainable by extracting different parts of the plant using hydrodistillation extraction [ 10 ], subcritical water, Soxhlet apparatus [ 61 ], solvent extraction, steam distillation, and supercritical CO 2 methods [ 62 ]. However, the EO content is variable among different parts of the plant, which could be due to the different origins of cultivated varieties, climate and geographical conditions [ 10 , 63 ], the area and season of cultivation, the degree of plant maturation, and genotypes of the species. In particular, 2-dodecenal was found as the main volatile EO in the root and stalk, while 1-ethenyl-cyclododecanol was the highest volatile component in the leaves of C. sativum [ 64 ].…”

“…Simplification of assumptions is made that the main mechanism which controls the extraction rate is the transport of the extracted oil from the surface of the plant particle into the bulk solution and the external mass transfer resistances are negligible. Essential oil is treated as a pseudo-component of constant properties with insignificant changes in composition and/or kinetic constants of the constituents during the process (Benyoussef and Saibi, 2013). Considering the extraction process carried on in a batch process and no chemical reactions take place, hence the mass transfer rate can be expressed in its differential form:…”
