That depends on what flower you want to extract essential oils from. I usually take a peak on wikipedia to see what compounds make up the essence, and then look up the chemical properties (namely the boiling point) of those compounds.
High pressure is an important part of the oil extraction process because it squeezes the oil out of places that are hard to access.
Clevanger apparatus usually use to determine essential volatile oil from flowers, leaves while soxhlet apparatus use for the extraction of a lipid from a solid material like plant seeds. Phuong.
Essential oils are separated from plants by solvent extraction or water vapor extraction.
