The invention discloses a method for extracting
essential oil and headspace volatile of
arabian jasmine flowers. The method comprises the steps of distilling, condensing,
oil water separating, adsorbing, primary rectifying concentrating,
alcohol precipitating, secondary rectifying concentrating and the like. According to the method, in a
vacuum state, vapor is adopted to distill the
essential oil of the
arabian jasmine flowers, distilling temperature is reduced, distilling time is shortened, the use rate of equipment is improved, the quality and yield of the
essential oil of a product are improved, the production cost is reduced, and the technical problems of the existing traditional
solvent method and
supercritical carbon dioxide method are overcome. The headspace volatile of the
arabian jasmine flowers is obtained by concentrating of a rectifying
tower, and compared with the existing reduced pressure
distillation, the method has the advantages that the loss of easy-to-volatile headspace volatile component is reduced, and the purity of the headspace volatile can be improved. By using the method in the invention to extract the essential oil and headspace volatile of the arabian jasmine flowers, the yields are respectively 0.23-0.28% and 5.5-6.0% and the yields of the respective components are obviously improved.
