Ocotea (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

An Ocotea leaves oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the leaves of the Ocotea genus, which includes aromatic trees like Ocotea cymbarum and Ocotea quixos. Ocotea oil is valued for its warm, spicy, and woody aroma, commonly used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and traditional medicine.

The extraction process primarily involves steam distillation, where fresh or partially dried Ocotea leaves are placed in stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the plant material, vaporizing the volatile aromatic compounds. These vapors are then condensed and separated to collect pure essential oil. The oil is filtered and stored in airtight, light-resistant containers to preserve its aroma and therapeutic properties.

Modern Ocotea oil distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation vessels, condensers, and oil separators. Automated controls maintain optimal temperature and pressure to maximize oil yield and quality. The essential oil contains key constituents such as cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and linalool, contributing to its distinctive scent and medicinal benefits. The plant follows strict quality and hygiene standards, producing premium-grade Ocotea oil for use in fragrance, health, and wellness industries.
