Fermentation Extraction 🍶
- Submerge chopped herbs in a 5–10% sugar–water solution in a sealed jar
- Allow to ferment at room temperature (25–30 °C) for 7 days, shaking gently once daily
- Strain out solids and evaporate excess moisture to concentrate the aromatic extract
- Yields a mild, water-soluble aroma; no heat means delicate compounds remain intact
-
Steam Distillation 💨
- Place fresh or dried herbs in a distillation vessel with a 2:1 water-to-herb ratio
- Pass steam through herbs for 2–3 hours at boiling temperature
- Condense vapor to separate essential oil (floating layer) and hydrosol (aqueous layer)
- Typical essential-oil yield: 0.5–3% by weight; ideal for pure, concentrated aroma
-
Solvent Extraction 🧪
- Soak powdered or coarsely chopped herbs in 95% food-grade ethanol at a 1:5 herb-to-solvent weight ratio
- Seal and macerate for 7–14 days, agitating gently every 1–2 days
- Filter out plant solids and evaporate ethanol partially to obtain a potent tincture
- Captures both water- and oil-soluble compounds; fast and efficient but requires careful alcohol handling
-
Oil Infusion 🌻
- Combine dried herbs with a neutral vegetable oil (e.g., palm or coconut) at a 1:1–1:2 weight ratio
- Warm-infuse under low heat (40–60 °C) or sunlight for 4–5 days, stirring once daily
- Strain through fine cloth to remove herb particles
- Produces a lipophilic extract rich in fatty-soluble aromas; simple DIY method
-
Supercritical CO₂ Extraction 🌐
- Load herbs into an extraction chamber and apply CO₂ at 100–300 bar pressure and 40 °C temperature
- Maintain extraction for 1–2 hours, then gradually reduce pressure to collect pure extract
- Yields high-purity, thermolabile compound preservation without solvent residues
- Ideal for premium formulations but requires specialized equipment
- Fermentation: Submerge herbs in sugar–water solution 7–30 days for natural extraction
- Steam Distillation: Yield pure essential oils via steam condensing
- Solvent Extraction: Soak in alcohol 7–14 days to create potent tinctures
- Oil Infusion: Warm-steep herbs in neutral oil for 3–7 days
- Supercritical CO₂: High-purity extraction using pressurized CO₂
