  • Can a microwave heating system extract essential oil from peppermint plants?
  • Chen and Spiro (1994) studied a microwave heating-based system to extract the essential oil from peppermint plants. This study aims to predict the factors that evaluate the microwave heating rate of plants and solvent mixture. The power output affects the rate of extraction of essential oil from the peppermint plant.
  • Does power output affect the extraction rate of essential oil from peppermint plants?
  • However, the energy consumption to extract 1 ml of EO is 55.55% lower than SD system. The result concluded that power output affects the rate of extraction of essential oil from peppermint plants. The extraction rate of essential oil increased with an increase in the power output.
  • How is peppermint oil extracted?
  • Peppermint oil is extracted from peppermint plant leaves through the steam distillation process. The boiler, distillery, and condenser are the main components of the distillation system. Steam distillation is a process in which water is heated up to boiling point by a heat source and converted into steam in the boiler.
  • Can a steam desalination system extract essential oil from peppermint plant?
  • The numerous advancements conducted experimentally to improve the efficiency of steam desalination systems to extract the essential oil from the peppermint plant are presented in this article. Peppermint oil is important for human life because of its health benefits.
  • Can a steam distillation system extract peppermint oil from leaves?
  • Radwan et al. (2020) designed the conventional and solar energy based steam distillation system to extract the peppermint oil from leaves. The setups for conventional and solar energy based distillation are shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, respectively. An electrical heat source was used for evaporation of water in a conventional distillation system.
  • How efficient is a peppermint distillation system?
  • The efficiency of the system was achieved to 33.21% and 1.548 kW thermal powers available for the distillation process. An average 3.5 kWh energy was consumed for the processing of 10 kg batch size of peppermint. Thermal energy for the distillation process and essential oil yield were evaluated in this study.
