How it works…
The process
Essential oils
Essential Oils are usually steam distilled from plant matter. Water is boiled and steam passes through the organic material which imparts the volatile components into the steam, on cooling these precious components separate into an Essential Oil which can be collected. There are a number of different setups and methods used depending on the raw material in question, but the principle is largely the same from product to product.
The process
CP Essential oils
The extraction of CP (Cold-Pressed) essential oils from citrus fruits involves a specific method that captures the aromatic essence without exposing it to excessive heat or solvents. This process ensures the preservation of the natural qualities and fragrance of the citrus fruits
During cold-pressing, the peels are compressed and squeezed to release the essential oil. There are a number of different machines which can perform this operation, the machine used can depend on the location of the factory or the type of fruit being processed. It is also the case that juice is often extracted alongside the Essential Oil as part of the same process. No heat or chemical solvents are used in this method, allowing for a pure and unadulterated extraction.
Once the essential oil is extracted, it is typically separated from any remaining liquid, such as juice or water, through decantation or centrifugation. The Oil is then often chilled for a number of weeks in order to separate out waxes resulting in a clean usable raw material.
The process
Absolutes
To obtain the Absolute, the concrete undergoes a second extraction using a polar solvent, typically ethanol. The polar solvent selectively dissolves the aromatic components present in the concrete, separating them from the non-aromatic substances. This extraction is typically performed through maceration or percolation methods, allowing for maximum extraction efficiency.
After the extraction, the solvent is removed from the mixture using distillation or evaporation techniques, leaving behind the concentrated aromatic extract known as the absolute. The absolute is characterised by its intense aroma and high concentration of aromatic compounds, making it a valuable ingredient in perfumery, cosmetics & flavours.
