The technology behind it is 6000 years old, the process is super simple (kids could do it). The equipment you can make at home by yourself, using a pot and 2 diameters of copper pipe (Liebig condenser). The reason for the price is the small yield. Usualy for most products 0.5-1% (10ml out of 1kg raw material). Also distillation is time, energy and water consuming.
I for one, am just really impressed with the inforgraphics, its really on point, clean an beautiful, great presentation, explaining every step, giving us all the graph details of the minerals % and stuff, and lastly, showing us the progress of the channel and appreciating like that, its dope, u are the only one I have met who has done that, and I found it fascinating, keep up and continue teaching us all the sciency stuff, God bless u and may you grow much bigger in your field
I can relate how there are more men watching this than women. I am a man, not going to make EO, but still watch the entire process carefully and like it.
Crazy how more men are watching how essential oils are made lol . Curiosity got the best in me but I still enjoyed it. Hopefully you make a video where we can make some with out buying all the fancy equipment.
You can get a glass distillation setup off of eBay and/or AliExpress and a cheap hotplate from WalMart for less than $100, and that's plenty to start out with hydrodistillation of any oily plant (mint, pine, etc).
Congratulations on a very informative video... have planted sixty citrus on our new property in New Zealand and now understand how we will create revenue from collecting EO. Thank you very much.
I have tried (taste) both steam distilled and cold pressed lemon essential oil. The SD lemon EO tastes cooked, round, and flat. While the CP lemon EO tastes fresh, full of depth, and complexity.
That is excactly what differs the vacuum distillation to steam distillation! In steam distillation the citrus oil is boiling, similarly saying the essential oil is isomericing. Similar when cooking hops in beer brew, the hop oils getting bitter from heating, so the flavor behaviour is changcing. When using vacuum distillation, the water/oil is unattaching the peel in far less temperature than cooking temperature, keeping the oil tasting excactly as "virgin fresh" as in the nature fruit as it was in the beginning!
I love how you made this public for us to get a better understanding as for buying instead of making it your self...i would have to order this online +paying for shipping +tax+the long wait for delivery = no fun at all lol
Well and it is always fun to do it! Of course it may not be worth as it is much cheaper to directly buying it, but who cares?! (In my opinion). I thing it is quite entertaining and useful to do it yourself :D Thanks for commenting
I love science, chemistry especially. Thank you soo much for this awesome vid. Now when my citrus trees start producing more fruit than my family and I can eat I know exactly what to do with them
Hi, I just want to say thank you for all your videos, the camera quality and explantion. All is very good, I'm glad I find your channel. thank you so much.
Mucha categoría. Me alegro de que el canal tenga cada vez más suscriptores. Resulta paradójico que te conozcan más en cualquier parte del mundo, que en tu propia "casa". Mucho ánimo maestro
It is quite simple in my opinion! Maybe the word is "difficult" as you have to have equipment, space and time to perform it but you can say you have your own EO (which for many people it is a point of huge interest nowadays)
It may be hard at the begining but once you get used to mount all the apparatus, the process is very easy. One can just relax and watch while it is working ;)
Great video. Subscribed to your channel. I just came from your previous video on the same topic. And you get so many views from India because in our colleges only theory is taught and we don't have any practical experience. Your videos give a visualization of the methods mentioned in the books. Keep it up. Great work.
Thanks for commenting! I was wondering why I got so much views from India/Indonesia. It is kind of sad that you people dont have experimental practices as part of your study... I feel good to upload this videos so!! Thank you!!
Im distilling some lemon oil right meow! Except I grate my lemon peels so I can extract the oil easier and get more. I do throw some full peels in tho so it doesn't get too densely packed and create pockets where the heat doesn't reach it as well. Then I have a glass steam distillation apparatus that I use to extract the oil. I like your condensor and thermometer, it's sick dood.
With this kind of conclusion about sexism on males and females ratio, I don't think so ... It sounds to politically correct . . . To socialist. We feel the oligarchic propaganda behind who always try to divide people with categories. We don't care if the viewers are male or female. We are here to learn about distillation, not about the sex of subscribers or viewers. Interesting video. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing. A conclusion regarding properties of components would be more appreciate than those absurd observations on male and female viewers.
@@algonzalez6853 - % of terpene, limonene, etc ... what kind of components are we able to extract with this method vs with CO2 extraction or other method ? Why ? The cost ? The time of extraction with different method, etc ... We are here to learn distillation or extraction and chemical practice, not to make socialism ...
A bit too difficult and with equipment I don’t have, do you have another video for us who are much simpler to be able to follow? I like to use everything I have and not waste anything, so this is a fabulous way to use each part of the lemon, including whatever would normally be thrown away to be used in compost!
Ambutu Newsone ok, so once you juice them, u then zest it and do what with it? I’m trying to make an easy lemon essential oil, but don’t have all the equipment. :(
@@myranda0059 it'll smell like lemon oil (I duuno about taste cos I use it on my skin & hair not to cook) but if u want it concentrated & made into an essential oil use alcohol. Using an an oil like almond, coconut, sunflower or grape seed oil makes it infused oil & not an EO. There's a lot of tutorials on YT, just search it
Yeah. In perfume you mostly pay the brand you are buying but itself the liquid is pretty hrd to obtain. On industrial scale that things become much cheaper of course.
So fascinating, intriguing. I love making my body butters and using organic essential oils. I wish I could do this...thank you so much. I have subscribed and will be watching. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This went way over my head the moment the chemist equipment came out. Then I read the first couple of sentences in the description and confirmed my suspicions. The person here is a chemist. Great video and thanks for showing us. I'll study it and other videos closer at a later time when I can make this a higher priority.
LOVE THIS MATE thank you videos are amazing keep them coming.. please do a Calendula Infusion would love for you to show us some infusions or extractions :)
Have you thought of making a deal with some restaurants or all them juice-making facilities to buy orange and lemon peels for a price of dirt? I am sure they normally just throw them away anyway, and you can save some time on juicing, save money on lemons, and save yourself and your friends and relatives from bothering them to please please please take some more of your this wonderful lemonde.
I am subscribed to over 100 channels, but yours is one of less than a handful that I have the notifications turned on for. I bet having that big fat bottle of oil was a nice feeling!
Thanks for following the channel Rob!!! Slowly but steady I am producing more and more videos and also the channel is growing. I really need to give this a use in next videos yes haha. It is a lot of lemon essential oil indeed ;D
Great video. Thank You. Rather elaborate setup that you have. It would be nice to have the text on screen a bit longer, so we have a chance to read it without constantly pausing.
No wonder good oils are expensive. I won't feel guilty when selling good essential oils. That's a lot of work and process that goes into making quality essential oils.
On an industrial scale, things get cheaper and cheaper the larger the amounts are, but yes, anyways the EO's are expensive. Lemon is pretty common, but if you want some exotic fragances.... prepare your wallet :D
I'm truly trying to keep up with the process, however its hard to see and goes very quickly, but this is amazingly interesting and thanks for sharing this.. Is there any way to do this in your kitchen??🤗🤗😉🤔
I am putting effort in adding my voice for next videos too, so no worries about more text! And yes of course, this exact experiment can be done in the kitchen, is just lemons!
For the last part ! Can we add ROR like ether as a organic solvent and after that use liquid- liquid method to extract the EO.my main question is what’s your suggestion for best solvent here?
Well the point of this video is to show that there is no need to use any solvent at all with lemon EO, as it is very insoluble in water. But if you want to get it ALL yeah you can use many solvents, probably hexane and petroleum ether are the best choices but you can use them mixtured with for example ethyl acetate, just and example.
As one of the viewers that was recommended, I genuinely enjoyed watching this. Lemons are a regular fancy of mine and as a child I was drawn to the scent of lemon perfume.. by chance do you sell these? Thank you this was very enjoyable! 🇨🇦
Thank you very much!! I enjoy making this videos too. I do not sell it as I plan to give it a practical use in the future but you can purchase lemon and many other essential oils in amazon ;D
Hey, i got suggested your channel as i am a fan of science videos, and i have to say your channel, even if small, has high video quality like the bigger ones!
Well, in aromatherapy, limes and citrus are usually essences and not distilled. The lemon essence is extracted by cold pression since citrus oils do not hold up well when heat steaming is used for extraction.. a "cold pressed" method of extraction since no heat is needed to extract the essential oil. In this process, the oil is forced from the material under high mechanical pressure. Your video is looking amazing, I am so sad aromatherapy is so often considered not effective. Please feel free to contact me for the scientific part of the content of your videos 😉✨😉
This is awesome! Now I can just show ppl this video when they want me to explain the difference between cooking oils that are safe to consume and an essential oil and why they are so expensive! I’m not great at explaining things. I’m Sicilian American when I asked questions as a kid I was told 1 of 2 thing’s “ because I said so!” Or “ cause that’s how God made it!” My mother was a Catholic school teacher n this is what I was told. I’m Wiccan not Catholic so I explore everything I can if I don’t get how something works I will find out how it works or how it’s made if it’s the last thing I do. I have ADD and Dyslexia so my brain works different then most. But that makes me unique I think. I will keep looking until I find the source of information that explains it in a way that it clicks in my brain. For the longest time I couldn’t understand how to calculate soap until someone else with dyslexia showed me and then I was mad because of how ridiculously easy it was to do. But I couldn’t find anyone for a good six or so months to explain it in a way that my brain understood it. So this is simple and straightforward. I love it and I can now explain it better to customers. Cause they go to buy my very expensive products and they ask why n in there mind it’s just oil. There not understanding. N I couldn’t explain the whole process before but now I can. Thank u ! Please do more video’s!!
Thanks for the comment. Well, from my point of view, catholic religion is mostly about telling people "those things" when they themselves dont understand it too. Thank for the comment, I appreciate ti :D
@@Glattuh What about Muslims and Hindu's , no need to reply if you care about your head. Sorry for bringing religion here, take it with a pinch of salt. Your videos and tutorials are amazing. Thanks.
Great demonstration thanks! How do you know when a batch is finished, does it stop dripping or water starts coming, something like that? By the way, not 10 000 but 35 700 now!!! Congrats! 😊
Thank you for commenting! Usually a small volume sample is collected during the distillation to see if it contains droplets of EO. If it doesnt, then its time to stop yeah. I have a surprise for filming in the future, if you are interested in getting an EO distiller, stay tuned!
Great video! thank you very much! I have a question, perhaps you know this: On all lemon oils I see it is said to be *for external use only*. Why is that? I know that e.g. fish oil is flavoured by lemon oil.
Thank you very much!! Well I hope so! I have a lot of projects to do but I am limited by PC and editing issues right now. Expect voice overed video in the future though :D
Agree! Unless you are an enthusiast and have raw material to work with. I know people have lots of aromatic herbs at their home and prepare their own essential oils as a hobby!
Muy buen video me gustó mucho, solo tengo tres preguntas. La primera es no sé pierde aceite esencial cuando metes la cáscara a triturar para disminuir el tamaño, la segunda es si no es necesario separar la parte blanca de la cascara de limón y la tercera es qué rendimiento tuviste?
wanted to make my own essential oil but it seems too troublesome. btw, your vid looks so professionally made, just wondering do you shoot this video on your own or there is actually a production team helping you with it?
I love your videos ! thanks a lot for sharing ! just one question : Many components have a boiling point more than 150 degrees, so it would be more interesting to increase the temperature until you see a reading of at least 150 degrees on your thermometer, what do you think?
How do you know when the batch is done? From the photo of what the batch looks like after the process there is still a lot of water left? Also what is the proportion of diatilled water to lemon peel for the batch? Many thanks for the video!
Hi there! There is not a specific rule for when to stop the distillation. Of course the longer the better but energy is a factor to keep in mind too. With this apparatus it is not possible but usually is easy to collect a few drops of distillate in a separate container and see if there is any essential oil there. Also, it is still full of water because the water fraction of the distillate is sended back to the pot, so it is recirculating. Ideally, no water is lost during the procedure. And it happens the same to the material/water ratio. As this aparatus send back the water there is no risk of eventual burning of material, as it is wet always. Hope that helps! Thanks for subscribing and commenting!
Would you consider making a “How-to video” and create colloidal metals solution: silver, copper, gold, platinum. And ppm (parts per million) concentration??? It would be a GREAT learning lab for students.

Thank you for this highly educational video! Now I understand why good essential oils are expensive.
Thank you!! ;D

Lots of hardwork
Give text in bright color.cant read
From where i get training of this. Many ingredients are there to take oil. But proper knowledge cant do set up.
The food and beverage industry might not waste anything and make more than one product. Cosmetics and fragrances too.

The sound of the ocean and no talking makes this a relaxing thing to watch, especially the other lemon one, lots of ocean sounds
New to the channel and i was pretty sure that was the ocean I heard and not just a fume hood.
I listen to ocean sounds just about every night to sleep ☺️💜
When life gives you lemons, take it to Nation Of Our Hobbies and juice out the lovely oils and also have a lemonade while you wait around.

2200W is 18.33 A for a 120 V outlet in the US. That would overwhelm the typical 20 A breaker since the distillation takes time.

Thanks for the comment. Well, from my point of view, catholic religion is mostly about telling people "those things" when they themselves dont understand it too. Thank for the comment, I appreciate ti :D
@@Glattuh What about Muslims and Hindu's , no need to reply if you care about your head. Sorry for bringing religion here, take it with a pinch of salt. Your videos and tutorials are amazing. Thanks.
Very informative👍💕💕💕💕
Thank you very much!
That's a nice amount of product! :) Congratulations on 10k subs!
Indeed! I had to give it a use hehe. Thank you, I am still processing it ;D
Excellent job
Great demonstration thanks! How do you know when a batch is finished, does it stop dripping or water starts coming, something like that? By the way, not 10 000 but 35 700 now!!! Congrats! 😊
Thank you for commenting! Usually a small volume sample is collected during the distillation to see if it contains droplets of EO. If it doesnt, then its time to stop yeah. I have a surprise for filming in the future, if you are interested in getting an EO distiller, stay tuned!
@@Glattuh Thanks, will do!
Great video! thank you very much!
I have a question, perhaps you know this: On all lemon oils I see it is said to be *for external use only*. Why is that? I know that e.g. fish oil is flavoured by lemon oil.
Great videos - I am totally new to this but would love to try it. Would you have a parts set up list you could share? Thanks
Very well Profassionaly Done I like it
Thanks!!!!!
Thank you sooo much sir.... Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 ....
You are welcome! Thanks for watching me so far away from Spain ;D
Lool en ningín momento imaginé que serías de España!! Me flipan tu videos, deveras!
Pues sí! Soy autóctono de aqui si. Muchas gracias por las palabras! Un saludo
13:00 what a tune !
Excelente!
Will you continue to make videos? It would be really nice. Love your videos!
Thank you very much!! Well I hope so! I have a lot of projects to do but I am limited by PC and editing issues right now. Expect voice overed video in the future though :D
im thinking of how can i do a diy essential oil until i saw this video,then realized that its better to buy a finished product😊
Agree! Unless you are an enthusiast and have raw material to work with. I know people have lots of aromatic herbs at their home and prepare their own essential oils as a hobby!
Muy buen video me gustó mucho, solo tengo tres preguntas. La primera es no sé pierde aceite esencial cuando metes la cáscara a triturar para disminuir el tamaño, la segunda es si no es necesario separar la parte blanca de la cascara de limón y la tercera es qué rendimiento tuviste?
Hi Yours Channel is really best and informative for youtubers like me.....Thanks
Glad I found this!
;)
wanted to make my own essential oil but it seems too troublesome. btw, your vid looks so professionally made, just wondering do you shoot this video on your own or there is actually a production team helping you with it?
It is not so difficult, in fact is very entertaining ;D
And no, it is just me and lots of time to film the videos hehe, but thanks !
Very nice work overall
Thank you!!! I really enjoy it making this videos :D
I love your videos ! thanks a lot for sharing ! just one question : Many components have a boiling point more than 150 degrees, so it would be more interesting to increase the temperature until you see a reading of at least 150 degrees on your thermometer, what do you think?
Well done brother
How do you know when the batch is done? From the photo of what the batch looks like after the process there is still a lot of water left? Also what is the proportion of diatilled water to lemon peel for the batch? Many thanks for the video!
Hi there! There is not a specific rule for when to stop the distillation. Of course the longer the better but energy is a factor to keep in mind too. With this apparatus it is not possible but usually is easy to collect a few drops of distillate in a separate container and see if there is any essential oil there. Also, it is still full of water because the water fraction of the distillate is sended back to the pot, so it is recirculating. Ideally, no water is lost during the procedure.
And it happens the same to the material/water ratio. As this aparatus send back the water there is no risk of eventual burning of material, as it is wet always.
Hope that helps! Thanks for subscribing and commenting!
Nice! Thank you! Muchas gracias!
Gracias a ti!! Un saludo
Nice Work !!!
Would you consider making a “How-to video” and create colloidal metals solution: silver, copper, gold, platinum. And ppm (parts per million) concentration???
It would be a GREAT learning lab for students.
I already have a copper particles synthesis video in mind! For sure I will make it. Thanks for the comment

And would you consider a How to video , about make Baking Soda or sodium bicarbonate at home ??
That would be GREAT, Your attention to detail is in a class of its own, thank you so much.
