EXPERIMENTAL METHOD

[0023] For this method, a synthetic essential oil aimed to be a reconstitution is required. A distillation unit to apply heat and vacuum, is also required to perform the reflux.

[0024] 1st step, the synthetic compound and obtained. This is put in the refluxing flask. The same amount of distilled water is also added to this flask.

[0025] The mixture is put under vacuum and subjected to heat. The temperature is set at 100 degree Celsius, as it the temperature of steam. This is shown is the diagram . . . .

[0026] The mixture undergoes reflux for 4 hours and 100 degree Celsius and under vacuum. After 4 hours of reflux the mixture is allowed to stand overnight at room temperature for it to mature.

[0027] The next day, this mixture is put into a separating funnel where the water and reconstituted oil is separated. In case the oil obtained is not clear, the separation process is not over. Salt is added to remove all the moisture from the oil. When the clear oil is obtained, it is allowed to mature for 48 hours.

[0028] This matured essential oil is the required product ready for use and is called NNO+ The GCMS analysis report is shown in Table 2.

[0029] The evaluation shows that the NNO+ is better than the original compound organoleptically.

[0030] Evaluation Example:

[0031] Armoise NNO

[0032] Organoleptic Properties:

[0033] Colour/Appearance: Slightly green liquid

[0034] Odour: Sharp camphoracous thujonic fresh

[0035] Taste: Bitter taste.

[0036] Solubility: Soluble in Alcohol

[0037] Armoise NNO+

[0038] Organoleptic Properties:

[0039] Colour/Appearance: Slightly green, liquid

[0040] Odour: Soft and refresh aroma, reminiscent of Armoise oil.

[0041] Solubility: Soluble in alcohol

[0042] Taste: Bitter taste.

[0043] Commercial Method

[0044] Similarly, to the experimental method, the commercial method starts with the raw reconstituted essential oil. The quantity is more than the experiment sample. Let us say the quantity is 100 kilo grams.

[0045] A distillation unit is used to obtain the required product. Overtime we have observed that a unit of 600 kilo grams capacity is the most efficient for the reflux of 100 kilo grams of essential oil and 100 kilo grams of water along with it.

[0046] The method is as follows:

[0047] First, we mix the reconstituted absolute with distilled water at a ratio of 1:1.

[0048] Secondly, this mixture is allowed to reflux for 4 hours at a constant temperature of 100 degree Celsius under vacuum.

[0049] After this the mixture is allowed to rest at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure overnight.

[0050] The next day, the oil and water is separated.

[0051] The separated reconstituted and refluxed oil is allowed to mature for 48 hours.

[0052] The obtained is Reconstituted essential oil ready to be shipped called NNO+

[0053] Losses

[0054] Loss of soluble matter.

[0055] Some of the matter in the synthetic essential oil may be soluble or partially soluble in water. This material is lost during the separation of the reconstituted essential oil. This loss is somewhat constant.

[0056] Handling Losses

[0057] Transferring of material from one unit to another unit or tank leaves a handling loss. The percentage of handling loss is less for higher quantities.
