Nagarmotha roots Husk Distillation Plant

A roots and husk distillation plant is a facility designed to extract essential oils and aromatic compounds from plant roots (e.g., vetiver, ginger, valerian) and husks (e.g., coconut husk, nutmeg shell). These natural extracts are used in perfumery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and aromatherapy, as well as in traditional medicine.

Key Processes in a Roots / Husk Distillation Plant

• Raw Material Preparation: Roots and husks are cleaned, dried, and sometimes chopped or shredded to aid in oil release.
• Steam or Hydro Distillation: Steam passes through the prepared material to extract volatile oils.
• Condensation and Separation: The vapor is condensed, and essential oils are separated from the water phase (hydrosol).
• Filtration and Testing: Oils are filtered for clarity and tested for quality, aroma, and active compounds.
• Storage and Packaging: Oils are stored in sealed, light-proof containers to maintain potency and shelf life.

Applications

• Perfumery & Cosmetics: Used in natural perfumes, soaps, and skin care products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Incorporated into anti-inflammatory, digestive, and therapeutic remedies.
• Aromatherapy: Known for grounding, calming, or invigorating properties.
• Traditional Medicine: Used in herbal and Ayurvedic preparations.
