Objective: The use of innovative technologies in the production of essential oils from plant raw materials is also yielding good results. Pepermint- perennial herb plant of the Lamiaceae family. Replace essential oils with synthetic products or additives that are used to meet human needs by taking essential oils in a short, clean and, of course, low cost. During these processes it is advisable to control the process flowchart in automatic control devices.
Results: The essential oils of the mint plant are composed of heat-sensitive chemical compounds,the use of steam distillation technique would inevitably inflict thermal degradation to the natural fragrance. The extract compositions were compared using gas chromatography analysis.
Conclusion: Essential oils out by different techniques and automation methods avoid shortcomings of content optional techniques friendly to environmental to avoid chemical risk and obtain yield quality of essential oils.
