Oregano oil extraction process using the "Coreganoil" coil steam drag method

Abstract

It is an unprecedented process of extracting oil from the oregano plant (Lippia graveolens), from the distillation dry by the coil method. With innovation, a purer oil will be obtained by increasing the essences in thymol and carvacrol counteracting all possible moisture generated by the process. In addition to saving inputs for the extraction of volatile essences, which give it quality and purity, directly impacting the sale price. The objective that coreganoil offers to the market is the high purity of the oil extracted from the oregano plant, thanks to the new unprecedented dry distillation process using the coil method, resulting in an oregano oil with higher percentages of thymol and carvacrol, obtaining a purer oil. The methodological extraction procedure of this innovation is dry distillation by the coil method, which will allow the extraction process to be effective with a higher concentration of its physicochemical properties, giving it more added value. Coreganoil's contribution in obtaining it is a project that has the presence of a potential market in the south central region of the state of Chihuahua where there are 14,805 potential clients according to INEGI (2020). Potential clients for this project are mostly people of either sex dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry, culinary arts, farmers and fragrance industry and the general public.
