Sugandha Kokila Oil Distillation Plant

A Sugandha Kokila oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the dried berries of Cinnamomum glaucescens, commonly known as Sugandha Kokila. Native to the Himalayan region, this aromatic plant produces berries rich in essential oil that is highly valued for its warm, spicy, and camphoraceous fragrance. Sugandha Kokila oil is widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, cosmetics, and traditional medicine.

The extraction process primarily employs steam distillation. The dried Sugandha Kokila berries are cleaned and loaded into a stainless steel distillation chamber. Steam is passed through the berries, which vaporizes the volatile aromatic compounds. This steam-oil vapor is then condensed in a cooling unit, separating the essential oil from the hydrosol. The oil is collected, filtered, and stored in airtight containers to preserve its quality and aroma.

Modern Sugandha Kokila oil distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, stainless steel distillation units, condensers, separators, and automated control systems to maintain optimal temperature and pressure. These features ensure maximum oil yield, purity, and safety during production. The essential oil is rich in compounds such as 1,8-cineole, linalool, and sabinene, contributing to its characteristic fragrance and therapeutic properties like antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. The plant adheres to strict hygiene and quality standards, making it suitable for both commercial and pharmaceutical-grade oil production.
