Description

In experiment C2.4.3.3, water vapour distillation is used to isolate fragrance and flavouring substances from crushed plant parts. The readily volatile fragrance and flavouring substances are carried away by the hot steam. In addition, the water solubility of these essential oils is temperature dependent. They dissolve in the hot water in the receiver flask. During cooling in the distillation unit, the water and essential oil separate again. In this way, the oil can be easily separated from the solvent water.
