Abstract
A process and system to extract essential oil from an essential oil-containing food material is described. The process includes subjecting the essential oil-containing food material to a pulsed electric field; extracting the essential oil into water to form a first fluid mixture that contains essential oil, an essential oil-water emulsion, and water; and separating the first fluid mixture into a waste mixture and a second fluid mixture, where the concentration of essential oil in the second fluid mixture is greater than the concentration of essential oil in the first fluid mixture.
