Roots: the earliest history of the essential oil industry

Modern technology, from the time of Robert Boyle (1627-91), father of modern chemistry, is relatively familiar. But the fifteen centuries from the first century A.D. until Boyle, when many of the first efforts were made to develop the science and tools used today, tell a story that if unfamiliar, though fascinating. Many personalities, ideas, and cultures played a unique part in the birth and youth of modern sciences upon which we now draw for familiar products.

New Solvents for Extraction

New solvents based on Hydrofluorocarbon-134a and a new technology to optimize their remarkable properties in the extraction of plant materials offer significant environmental advantages and health and safety benefits over traditional processes for the production of very high quality natural fragrant oils and flavor extracts.

Continuous Process for Oakmoss Extraction

Oakmoss (Evernia prunastri L. Ach.), along with other tree mosses, is among the most voluminous botanicals which are solvent extracted for use in perfumes. These extracts are manufactured with heavy labor costs. Large quantities of solvent have to be circulated and evaporated. This requires high energy costs. Therefore, there is a place for a quicker continuous automated process.
