Abstract

The process of the distillation is widely used in manufacturing of essential oil. In this study is used the process of distillation with aim of obtaining essential oil from fruits of fennel in experimental laboratory distillation installation. The distillation curve for extraction of essential oils from the process of distillation at different temperatures for the supplied steam was presented. A graphical dependence of the distillation rate during the duration of the process was constructed. The values obtained for the distillation rate during the process ranged from 5.5 to 7.5% (± 0.05) average rate. Equations were derived for calculating the rate of distillation depending on the duration of the process at the temperature of the supplied steam. The percentage of the extracted essential oil from the raw material was calculated under the same process conditions but at different temperatures of the supplied steam. It was found that the optimal temperature for supplied steam is 150°C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
