It has been found that the total amount of fragrance compounds obtained by superheated water extrachon was greater than that that could be obtained by steam dishllahon. This could be because penetradon of the plant material is better with hot water under pressure, as proposed above. As an example of these comparisons, the work on wild marjoram Thymus mastichina) [60] will be briefly outlined. Steam dishllahon was carried out over 3 h, whereas superheated water extrachon at 150°C was completed in 15 min. The authors used about 10.5 hmes more water per gram of plant material in superheated water extrachon than in steam dishlla-...

Since the work of Chfford et al., several studies of the small-scale extraction of essential components have been made and the work and methods have been reviewed [62-64]. Work has been carried out on eucalyptus [65] peppermint [66, 67], savory [67], laurel [68] and Thymbria spicata [69]. These reach similar conclusions to those made above for rosemary, wild marjoram and clove and in some cases comparisons with steam distillation and other methods have been made [58, 60, 61, 66, 68]. In addition to essential oil components, work is also being carried out on the extraction of compounds for analytical purposes [70, 71], including the extraction of metals [72, 73]. Other extractions of medical and industrial interest are being car-...
