ABSTRACT

Perfume industries are growing in demand as the living standards are improving day by day. There is increasing demand for perfumes. They mask the body odor. Various methods such as solvent extraction, hydro distillation and enfleurag can be used for oil extraction. Distillation based recovery processes such as steam and vacuum distillation are preferred for the extraction of essential oils from plant materials. Other methods include solvent extraction, expression or enfleurage. The current review summarizes research on various methods for oil extraction and perfume formation from various raw materials.

Key words: Distillation, extraction, yield, essential oil, solvent.

INTRODUCTION and animal substances are traditionally used Fragrance oil(s) are also known as for perfume formation. Essential oils, pure aroma oils, aromatic oils, and flavor oils. grain oil and water are three key ingredients They are synthetic aroma compounds or in relation to perfume making. Essential natural essential oils that are diluted with a oils, or volatile oils, are found in many carrier like propylene glycol, vegetable oil, different plants. Investigations are reported or mineral oil. Perfume is a mixture of on oil extraction by distillation for fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds, modification and optimization. [1,2] Various fixatives and solvents. It gives a pleasant analytical and physical aspects have been scent to the human body, animals, food, investigated by various investigators. [3-5] In objects, and living-spaces. Perfume give the current review, the summery on research pleasant feeling and increases enthusiasm to carried out for perfume and essential oil perform better at workplaces. Many plant extraction from various sources is presented. extracts are very important from therapeutical perspectives. Extracts of REVIEW ON OIL EXTRACTION AND biologically active components isolated PERFUME FORMULATION FROM from plant species finds numerous PLANTS applications in perfume, aroma and Extraction of essential oil of pharmaceutical industries. A perfume is lemongrass by microwave-assisted hydro composed of three notes, namely base note, distillation (MAHD) and solvent free middle note and top note. Smell of fragrance microwave extraction (SFME) method was after drying is referred as base note. Mixing carried out by Singh et.al.

The first smell various parameters like microwave power, experienced in an aroma is top note. Plant irradiation time and sample particle size.

They observed an increase in oil yield with carried out an investigation on formulation increasing microwave power, irradiation of perfume from lemongrass.

An three methods namely solvent extraction, investigation on the effects of three maturity hydro distillation and enfleurage for oil stages at harvest of lemongrass on essential extraction. Their research indicated that oil oil, chemical composition and citral was not instantly extracted. Wetting or contents was carried out by Tajidin et.al.
