E-Learning & Certification on extracting essential oils from medicinal plants, has been created to fully familiarize people with extracting essential oils from medicinal plants and methods of extracting essential oils. Essential oil extraction from medicinal plants is in the field of agricultural engineering. Essential oil refers to aromatic products obtained by separation by distillation method. Essential oils are aromatic compounds that, as an effective substance of plants, have many therapeutic properties and applications. In essential oil extraction, the essential oil is separated from the plant mixture and used in various uses of the essential oil, including medicine and food industry. The remaining water that is the result of the distillation of this essential oil process is vegetable sweat. Essential oil contains only terpene compounds or terpene derivatives of the plant. Essential oils are mostly oily and do not dissolve in water. Because the weight of essential oil is lighter than water and it is placed on water like fat stains. The characteristic of essential oils is that they evaporate at ambient temperature in the vicinity of air. For this reason, they are also called volatile oil or aromatic oil or essential oil.

What is the difference between essential oil and extract?

The main difference between essential oil and plant extract is in its separation method through two different mechanisms. Also, extracts are more effective than essential oils.
