The majority of concentrated and volatile Essential oils are extracted from various parts of the plants. Essential oils contain hundreds of organic constituents such as natural elements, vitamins, hormones, etc., widely used in the perfumery and pharmaceutical industries. Different techniques are available for the extraction of essential oil, such as hydro and steam distillation, cold pressing/expression, Maceration, solvent extraction, Effleurage, Carbon Dioxide Extraction, Hydro Diffusion, etc., and innovative techniques like Supercritical Fluid Extraction (S.F.E.), Microwave Assisted Hydro distillation (MAHD), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (U.A.E.), Solvent-free Microwave Extraction (SFME), Microwave hydro diffusion and Gravity (M.H.G.). This review paper summarizes the research on various methods for essential oil extraction for various raw materials. The summary of this paper included information on different plant materials, the most suitable extraction method with operating conditions, advantages, and disadvantages of extraction methods, etc.

“…It exhibits that plant material had the highest yield during different HD methods. For conventional HD, MAHD, OAHD, and SAHD system, the highest yield was recorded for Agarwood (6.11%; Pornpunyapat et al, 2011) Mace (8.62%; Megawati et al, 2019), Clove (13.18%; Tunç & Koca, 2019), and Lemongrass (2.26%; Ragula et al, 2016) respectively. In comparing all kinds of HD systems, it is depicted that the Clove plant and Lemongrass had the highest and lowest yield of EO.…”

Hydrodistillation (HD) systems have been popular for essential oils extraction from medicinal and aromatic plants for several decades. Nevertheless, they substantially consume thermal or electrical energy and have a visible carbon footprint on the environment. This article describes a state‐of‐the‐art review of the HD systems used for essential oil extraction to examine their effectiveness. From this study, it has been found that, for a microwave‐assisted system, the yield of an essential oil varies from 0.079% to 8.62%. The microwave‐assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) system yields 32% more than a conventional HD system. The average extraction time saved using the MAHD system is 67.17% compared with the traditional one. Ohmic‐assisted HD system is better than the microwave‐assisted and conventional HD system, with an 18.04% enhancement in the yield. During this study, it is also investigated that for the distillation system operating at atmospheric pressure, the extraction temperature ranges from 80°C to 120°C. This temperature can easily be attained in a solar hydrodistillation system. Several investigators have demonstrated the use of solar energy for essential oil extraction. However, these systems mostly use a concentrating collector, henceforth found bulky and expensive.
