Parsley Seed Oil Distillation Plant

parsley seed oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the dried seeds of Petroselinum crispum, commonly known as parsley. Parsley seed oil is valued for its warm, spicy, herbaceous aroma and is widely used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and natural medicine due to its detoxifying, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

The primary method of extraction is steam distillation. In the process, the cleaned and dried parsley seeds are loaded into a stainless steel distillation chamber. Steam is introduced under controlled temperature and pressure, passing through the seed mass and vaporizing the volatile oil compounds. This steam-oil vapor is then condensed in a cooling system, and the oil is separated from the resulting aromatic water (hydrosol). The extracted oil is then filtered and stored in airtight, dark glass or food-grade stainless steel containers to protect it from light and oxidation.

Modern parsley seed oil distillation plants are equipped with high-efficiency boilers, stainless steel distillation columns, condensers, separators, and precise automation controls to ensure consistent quality, safety, and high yield. The oil is rich in compounds such as apiol, myristicin, and pinene, which contribute to its medicinal properties and unique scent. The plant is typically designed to meet GMP and international quality standards, serving both cosmetic and pharmaceutical markets.
