distillation is a variant of steam distillation. It is a common extraction
process to separate phytochemical compounds from plant material. For the hydro distillation extraction,
plant material is soaked for some time in water after which the mixture is
heated and volatile materials are carried away in the steam, condensed and

Hydro distillation can be referred by one of the two methods: Clevenger distillation - the
material to be extracted is immersed in water, which is then boiled. Steam distillation - steam
passes through a bed of the material to be extracted. Hydro distillation with
Clevenger trap is used for the extraction of volatile oil (
Hydro distillation
is sometimes used instead of steam distillation. This process of extraction is
one of the most used traditional methods of extraction. In this process, steam
pass via powdered wood in hydro distillater, the powder is soaked in to water. A
variant of steam distillation in which material is soaked for some time in
water after which the mixture is heated and volatile materials are carried away
in the steam, condensed and separated.
