Abstract

Essential oils are volatile liquid fractions, several are homogeneous mixtures of up to 100 organic chemical compounds, which are the products of plant material from waste. The objective of this work is to extract essential oils from palo santo and tangerine using the steam drag extraction method, for which purpose, the design and construction and experimentation of a bank-scale team, implementation of analysis and fundamentals of engineering from different bibliographic sources. The tests that are in the equipment designed for the distillation by steam dragging on a bench scale presented as results yields with the palo santo of 2.7985% and 4.3425%, however, the tangerine peel obtained a yield of 0.0816%, which indicating a very low result compared to palo santo, however, compared to other bibliographic sources, the extraction of tangerine oil obtained a higher yield.

Keywords: essential oil, steam entrainment, design, extraction, tangerine, palo santo.
