Abstract
The term "fragrance extraction" describes the process of
removing fragrance from raw materials using techniques including pressing,
solvent extraction, distillation, or floral aroma. Extracts refer to essential
oils, absolutes, concentrates or oils, depending on the contents of mthe
package. Exposure to heat, solvents, or oxygen during the extraction process
can cause products to stink, while also changing their odour, identity, or
making them taste bad. During this process, the essential oil is extracted from
the lemongrass plant using three methods: solvent extraction,
hydrodistillation, and floral aroma. Obtained by 2 solvent extraction. 08%, enfluerage
method 1.96% and hydrodistillation 0.95% essential oil. From the analysis,
solvent extraction yielded the highest results because the least exposure to
air and heat based on quantitative data. Extracted essential oils are made into
perfume using fixatives that extend the life of the perfume and the product.
