Saro (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

A Saro leaves oil distillation plant is a dedicated facility designed to extract essential oil from the leaves of the Saro plant (Cinnamosma fragrans), an aromatic shrub native to Madagascar. Saro essential oil is known for its fresh, camphoraceous, and slightly citrusy aroma, and is valued for its antiviral, antibacterial, expectorant, and immune-boosting properties. It is widely used in aromatherapy, respiratory care, and natural health formulations.

The oil is typically extracted through steam distillation, where freshly harvested Saro leaves are placed into stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the plant material, carrying the volatile aromatic compounds into a condenser. The condensed vapors are then separated to collect pure essential oil. The oil is filtered and stored in light-resistant, airtight containers to maintain its purity and therapeutic quality.

Modern Saro oil distillation plants feature efficient boilers, food-grade distillation units, condensers, and oil-water separators, with automated controls to ensure optimal temperature and pressure during the process. The oil contains key constituents such as 1,8-cineole, alpha-terpineol, and limonene, which contribute to its respiratory and immune-supportive effects. The facility operates under strict hygiene and quality control standards, producing high-grade Saro oil for use in wellness, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries.
