A red sandalwood distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract aromatic compounds from the heartwood of the red sandalwood tree (Pterocarpus santalinus), a rare and protected species native to southern India. Unlike white sandalwood, red sandalwood yields little to no essential oil through conventional steam distillation, and is more commonly used in powdered form for cosmetics, dyes, incense, and traditional medicine. However, in cases where extraction is attempted, the plant may use modified steam distillation or solvent extraction methods to isolate its limited aromatic compounds. The process involves grinding the dense red wood, subjecting it to steam or solvents, and condensing the vapors to separate any volatile compounds. Due to the tree’s endangered status and regulatory restrictions under CITES, any distillation operation must follow strict legal and environmental guidelines, ensuring sustainable sourcing and ethical processing.
