ROSE OIL EXTRACTION
THREE METHODS OF ESSENTIAL OIL EXTRACTION

Supercritical Fluid Extraction
 Oil extraction by Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
 This method is most advance as it yields pure, high
quality, optimum quantity and chemical free rose oil
 Pilot plant is now functional at University of Agriculture
Faisalabad
Solvent Extraction
 Oil extraction through solvent (Ether, Hexane)
Steam Distillation
 Oil extraction through steam
SUPERCRITICAL FLUID
EXTRACTION

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used as solvent .
