Coriander Seed Oil distillation

A coriander seed oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the seeds of Coriandrum sativum, commonly known as coriander. Coriander seed oil is prized for its fresh, spicy, and slightly citrusy aroma, making it popular in perfumery, flavoring, and traditional medicine for its digestive and antimicrobial properties.

The extraction process mainly uses steam distillation. The cleaned and dried coriander seeds are placed in a stainless steel distillation chamber where steam is passed through under controlled temperature and pressure. This causes the volatile aromatic compounds in the seeds to vaporize. The vapor mixture is then condensed, allowing the essential oil to separate from the aromatic water (hydrosol). The collected oil is filtered and stored in airtight containers to maintain quality and freshness.

Modern coriander seed oil distillation plants feature efficient boilers, stainless steel distillation units, condensers, oil separators, and automated temperature and pressure control systems. These technologies ensure high oil yield, purity, and consistent quality. The essential oil is rich in compounds such as linalool and geranyl acetate, which contribute to its characteristic fragrance and therapeutic benefits. The plant operates under strict hygiene and safety standards suitable for food-grade, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.
