Cinnamon (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

A Cinnamon oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from cinnamon bark and sometimes cinnamon leaves, primarily sourced from Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia. Cinnamon oil is highly valued for its warm, spicy, and sweet aroma, as well as its antiseptic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is widely used in perfumery, food flavoring, pharmaceuticals, and aromatherapy.

The extraction process commonly utilizes steam distillation, where dried cinnamon bark or leaves are placed into stainless steel or copper distillation chambers. Steam passes through the plant material, vaporizing the volatile aromatic compounds. The vapors are then condensed and separated, allowing the essential oil to be collected from the hydrosol. The oil is filtered and stored in airtight, dark containers to preserve its potency and fragrance.

Modern cinnamon oil distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation units, condensers, and oil separators, along with automated controls to maintain optimal temperature and pressure for maximum oil yield and quality. The essential oil contains key components such as cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and linalool, which contribute to its characteristic scent and therapeutic benefits. The facility maintains strict hygiene and quality standards to produce high-grade cinnamon oil suitable for industrial, cosmetic, and medicinal applications.
