Xanthoxylum / Timur (Leaves & Berries) Oil Distillation Plant

A Xanthoxylum Timur leaves and berries oil distillation plant is a specialized facility for extracting essential oil from the leaves and berries of the Timur plant (Zanthoxylum armatum), native to the Himalayan region. Timur oil is valued for its spicy, citrusy, and slightly woody aroma, widely used in flavoring, perfumery, traditional medicine, and aromatherapy.

The extraction process uses steam distillation, where freshly harvested Timur leaves and berries are placed in stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the plant material, vaporizing the essential oils and volatile compounds. The vapors are condensed and separated to collect pure Timur oil. The oil is filtered and stored in dark, airtight containers to maintain its aroma and therapeutic quality.

Modern distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant stills, condensers, and oil separators, featuring automated controls for temperature and pressure to maximize oil yield and consistency. Timur oil contains active components such as limonene, linalool, and terpinen-4-ol, known for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and aromatic properties. The facility follows strict quality control and hygiene standards to produce high-grade essential oil for use in culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal products.
