New Multi-functional Extraction Tank - Extracting Apple Essential Oil from Apples

2023-10-11

Natural apple essential oil is extracted by distillation of apple fruit, apple juice concentrate production process of evaporation, condensation recovery of volatile and semi-volatile components of apple juice by-products. Apple essential oil is very unique with oxygen sterilization in addition to the odor function, fresh and sweet fruit flavor, light fruity fragrance refreshing and natural. Generally speaking, apple essential oil can secrete organic acids to regulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, help the digestive tract function, promote appetite, appetizing and other effects, improve the loss of appetite and other issues. In terms of beauty, apples are rich in vitamin ABC, can moisturize and whiten the skin, apple essential oil has a strong beauty and skin care effects, for the body environmental protection and skin care has a certain therapeutic effect.

There are two common extraction methods for apple essential oil:
1. Water vapor distillation
Water vapor distillation is a common method of extracting essential oils from plants, distillation equipment with a large volume, and simple operation, low cost. This method is suitable for volatile, can be vaporized with water vapor without being destroyed, and water does not react, and difficult to dissolve in water for the extraction of active ingredients.
Fresh or dried aromatic plant materials into the distiller, add water to heat together, under the action of steam, the essential oils in the plant components and water vapor evaporation, containing essential oils of the water vapor collected by the conduit after cooling the steam will be cooled into a liquid, and then in accordance with the difference in the density of the water and the essential oils are separated out. Using the essential oil components volatile, insoluble in water and do not react with water characteristics, condensation collection, and ultimately get the essential oil.
The distillation process needs to pay attention to control the temperature and time, to ensure that only the pure aroma of the apple extracted components.
2. Solvent extraction method
Organic solvent extraction method is the use of volatile organic solvents, continuous reflux extraction or cold immersion, hot immersion extraction of plant components will be dissolved, and then through the distillation of the extracted liquid or decompression distillation, such as removing the solvent can be crude essential oil. The solvent extraction method is used to extract natural flavors from plant materials, and the yield of flavors obtained by this method is significantly increased.
Generally, the solvent and plant material into the extractor mixed extraction, so that the volatile substances dissolved in the solvent; and then filtered; subsequently, evaporation and concentration of the solvent to get the filtrate, the concentrate is called extract (wax, a mixture of essential oils); the extract will be dissolved in ethanol, low-temperature filtration to remove impurities; and finally, evaporation of ethanol to get the essential oil.

The following is a detailed description of the preparation process of apple essential oil.
1. Pick ripe apples: Pick apples when they are ripe, clean and dry them.
2. Cutting and crushing apples: Cut the apples into small pieces or thin strips, put them into a pulverizer or blender, add a little water and grind the apples into a puree.
3. Distillation extraction: put the apple puree into the distiller, add appropriate amount of water, distillation extraction. The liquid obtained from the extraction contains apple essential oil.
4. Separation and extraction: Put the extracted liquid into the separating funnel, add appropriate amount of alcohol, and leave the apple essential oil with water.
5. Refinement of apple essential oil: put the separated apple essential oil into the distiller, heat it to the appropriate temperature, remove the impurities and water, and get the pure apple essential oil.

In the process of preparing apple essential oil, you need to use high-quality apples and other raw materials, master certain preparation skills and operating methods, at the same time, high quality and professional essential oil extraction equipment is also essential.

Wenzhou Jinbang Light Industry Machinery Co., Ltd. of the new multi-function stainless steel extraction tank: a variety of styles and specifications, according to customer needs tailored solutions, factory direct sales, low temperature automatic extraction, high efficiency and high quality, professional manufacturers, 30 years of research and development experience, won the praise of customers.

Product Overview:
The extraction tank is filled with solvent, soaked and then heated by jacketed steam. Tank liquid boiling, according to the boiling point of each solvent is different, the beginning, the low-boiling component first boil into a secondary vapor through condensation, cooling to the oil-water separation, can be determined according to the process whether to reflux or discharge. Oil-water separator utilizes the different densities of oil and water for upper and lower stratification, so as to obtain the volatile oil. In addition, due to the heating process, there is a concentration difference between the upper, middle and lower part of the liquid in the main tank, so that the liquid can be recycled from the bottom of the main tank through the filter and the pump back to the upper part of the main tank, realizing dynamic extraction.

This equipment is suitable for pharmaceutical, biological, beverage, food, chemical and other industries, plants, animals, atmospheric pressure, pressurization, decoction, warm immersion, thermal reflux, forced circulation, percolation, aromatic oil extraction and organic solvent recovery and other process operations, especially the use of dynamic extraction or multi-canister countercurrent extraction better, shorter time, high content of the liquid. Equipped with tanks equipped with CIP cleaning automatic rotary spraying ball, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, explosion-proof sight hole lamps, sight glass, quick-open feeding port, etc., to ensure easy operation, in line with GMP standards.
