Molecular Distillation in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Molecular distillation technology applied to the extraction of
natural herbal health products can be free from molecular distillation in Chinese medicine and truly maintain the characteristics of herbal medicine, which
is regarded as the protector of natural quality.
The process of using molecular distillation to extract
active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine and produce
essential oil involves the following steps in sequential order:
1. Collecting the medicinal herbs and using them as raw material.
2. Feeding the raw material into the system.
3. Preliminary pre-treatment of the raw material.
4. Concentration of the extract.
5. Wax removal from the extract.
6. Activation and reaction of the active ingredients present in the
extract.
7. Primary molecular distillation to remove light components and
any remaining residual solvents and water.
8. Further separation of the heavy fractions using secondary
molecular distillation.
9. The resulting light fraction is the final essential oil product.
10. Collecting the final essential oil product.
