ABSTRACT
Two main techniques are used in the extraction of essential oils, namely slow extraction, and azeotropic
distillation (sap distillation and hydrohydrodifici distillation). It is proposed as an environmentally friendly
method for essential oils from aromatic plants to produce essential oils which have various uses because they
are very energy efficient. and solvent, these traditional methods are rather expensive parameters which have
been studied including extraction time, yield, volume of essential oil solvent and efficiency and cost of each
procedure. It was found that microwave-assisted hydrodistillation made it possible to minimize the extraction
time of essential oils compared to hydrodistillation. essential oil results were obtained for 20 minutes and
took 180 minutes. In addition to the high quality of essential oils or experimental results, the yield also
reached 99.75%.
