Abstract EN
The extraction of essential oils is generally carried out by two main techniques: azeotropic distillation (hydrodistillation, hydrodiffusion, and steam distillation) and extraction with solvents.
However, these traditional methods are a bit expensive, especially since they are extremely energy and solvent consuming.
This work consists in studying two methods of extraction of the essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis L.: microwave assisted hydrodistillation (MAH) and Clevenger hydrodistillation (CH).
Several parameters have been studied: the extraction time, the yield, and the chemical composition of the essential oils as well as the efficiency and cost of each procedure.
The results obtained revealed that microwave-assisted hydrodistillation makes it possible to minimize the extraction time of the essential oils in comparison with conventional hydrodistillation.
Thus, the same yield of essential oils is obtained for 20 minutes only with MAH while it takes 180 minutes with CH.
In addition, the quality of the essential oil is improved thanks to a 1.14% increase in oxygenates.
In conclusion, the MAH method offers significant advantages over conventional hydrodistillation and can therefore replace it on a pilot and industrial scale.
