Described herein is a distillation system configured for continuous distillation under vacuum to produce an oil product such as an essential oil. Also described is a method of distillation and distillation product thereof. The distillation system comprises at least one distillation chamber for vaporizing a carrier liquid and passing it through a feedstock; a condenser fluidly connected to the at least one chamber; a separator fluidly connected to the condenser for separating a volatile oil product from a reformed carrier liquid; and a reflux tank fluidly connected to the separator and configured to store the reformed carrier liquid; a valve configured to dose carrier liquid from the reflux tank to the distillation chamber when the level of the carrier liquid in the distillation chamber falls below a predetermined level and a pump configured to maintain a positive carrier liquid pressure between the valve and the reflux tank.

The present invention discloses a method for extracting cinnamon oil; firstly, a cinnamon powder is mixed and conditioned with an aqueous solution of sodium salts, and the conditioned cinnamon powder is obtained thereafter; subsequently, the conditioned cinnamon powder obtained was frozen and then rapidly thawed, and the thawed cinnamon powder is obtained thereafter; finally, after the thawed cinnamon powder is mixed with a gaseous solvent, pressurized liquid extraction is performed, and then after separation the cinnamon oil is obtained. The method for extracting cinnamon oil from cinnamon at a low temperature adds an aqueous solution of sodium salts to condition the cinnamon powder, uses a slow freezing process and a rapid thawing process, and finally uses a gaseous solvent, which may gasify without heating to be separated from the extract; the extraction process is kept away from air, and the heat-sensitive components are not damaged.
