Water Distillation Benefits over Steam Distillation
In the manufacture of essential oils using the method of water distillation, the botanic material is completely immersed in water and the still is brought to the boil. The main characteristic of this process is that there is direct contact between boiling water and plant material [3]. Distillation offers better conditions for the osmosis of oil, because the higher temperature and the movement of water, caused by temperature and pressure fluctuations within the still, accelerate the forces of diffusion to such a point that all the volatile oil contained within the plant tissue can be collected. A special case of water distillation it uses the practice of returning the distillate water to the still after the oil has been separated from it so that it can be re-boiled. The principal behind it is to minimize the losses of oxygenated components. Practical advantages of water distillation are that the stills are inexpensive, easy to construct and suitable for field operation. These are still widely used with portable equipment in many countries. This method protects the oils so extracted to a certain degree since the surrounding water acts as a barrier to prevent it from overheating
