  • How is lemongrass distilled?
  • The Lemongrass is then steam or hydro distilled. Drying: The lemongrass has been allowed to wilt for 24 hours before the distillation as it reduces the moisture content by 30% and improves oil yield. The lemon crop is chopped into small pieces before filling in the stills.
  • What is lemongrass essential oil?
  • Lemongrass Essential Oil is derived from the steam distillation of the fresh or partly dried leaves. After distillation, the oil ranges in color from a yellow color to amber color and exudes a fresh, sweet, grassy and citrus-like aroma. Lemongrass oil is collected by distillation unit of the herbage for 1.5 to 2 hrs.
  • How is lemongrass oil obtained?
  • Lemongrass oil is obtained through steam distillation. Lemongrass oil has a strong lemon-like odor. The oil is yellowish in color having 75 to 85% citral and a small amount of other minor aroma compounds. The recovery of oil from the grass ranges from 0.5 to 0.8 percent. It takes about four hours for the complete recovery of the oil.
  • How to extract essential oils from lemongrass?
  • Most generally used process for the extraction of essential oils on a large scale. 150g of the dry sample of lemongrass were weighed from the sliced lemongrass sample and placed in a one-liter clean flat bottom flask. After that, 500ml of N-hexane solvent was poured into the flask.
  • How is lemongrass harvested?
  • Harvesting is completed with the help of sickles; the lemongrass plants are cut 10 cm above ground-level and allowed to wilt in the field, before transporting to the distillation site. The Lemongrass is then steam or hydro distilled.
  • How to clean lemongrass oil?
  • In case the color of the lemongrass oil changes due to rusting then it should be cleaned by steam rectification process. The lemongrass oil can be stored in containers made up of stainless steel or aluminum or galvanized iron, depending upon the quantity of oil to be stored.
