May Chang (Litsea Cubeba) Fruit Oil Distillation Plant

A May Chang (Litsea cubeba) fruit oil distillation plant is a specialized facility dedicated to extracting essential oil from the fresh fruits of the Litsea cubeba tree, commonly known as May Chang. This oil is highly valued for its bright, fresh, citrusy aroma with floral undertones, widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, cosmetics, and natural insect repellents.

The extraction process primarily uses steam distillation, where freshly harvested May Chang fruits are loaded into stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the fruits, vaporizing their volatile aromatic compounds. These vapors are then condensed and separated to yield pure essential oil. The oil is filtered and stored in airtight, light-resistant containers to preserve its quality and fragrance.

Modern May Chang oil distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation units, condensers, and oil separators. Automated temperature and pressure control systems ensure optimal oil extraction, maximizing yield and maintaining high-quality output. The oil contains key constituents such as citral, limonene, and geraniol, which contribute to its characteristic refreshing scent and antimicrobial properties. The plant operates under strict quality and hygiene standards, producing premium-grade May Chang essential oil for use in diverse industrial and therapeutic applications.
