footnote:
Vacuum distillation is a method that can be used to extract essential oils from delicate flowers like osmanthus. This technique operates under reduced pressure, which lowers the boiling point of the aromatic compounds, preventing thermal degradation and preserving the flower’s unique fragrance.
Steps in Vacuum Distillation for Osmanthus:
- Preparation: Fresh osmanthus flowers are carefully harvested and placed in the distillation apparatus.
- Reduced Pressure: A vacuum is applied to lower the boiling point of the aromatic compounds.
- Steam Introduction: Steam is passed through the flowers, carrying the volatile compounds.
- Condensation: The steam and aromatic vapors are cooled, forming a liquid mixture.
- Separation: The essential oil is separated from the water.
This method is ideal for preserving the sweet, fruity, and floral aroma of osmanthus
