| Abstract | Steam distillation is an expensive method of extracting the blue oil from German chamomile due to the heavy steel equipment required to withstand high pressures due to superheated steam. The use of combined SE-CD is less expensive than steam distillation and also avoids the problem flowers compacting together in the standard clavenger method. The main objective was to extract the essential oil from the flowers using SE-CD and compare the yield when cold extraction is done using different solvents. |
