Abstract:
Solar essential oil extraction apparatus has been designed and manufactured to extract aromatic oils. The device operates by solar energy and consists of two units. The first is steam production unit, which is a solar collector provided with pipes and covers an area of 1.566 square meters. The second is extraction unit, which is a stainless steel cylinder, the height of which is 0.320m and its diameter is 0.105m. In addition to these two units, the device is fitted with a glass steam condenser and a separation unit to separate the aromatic oil from the condensing water. The device also contains a balance tank.The solar collector is directed towards the south with an inclination of 30˚ and the testing data of the solar collector were gathered for the period from February to June 2014. Daily tests are conducted from 9 : 00am to 3 : 00pm. The solar radiation energy and temperature of the weather, absorbing plant and the incoming and outgoing steam of the extraction unit along with the temperature of the botanical parts are measured. Calculations are done for the practical and theoretical effeciency of the solar collector and for the proportions of the oil yield for every plant.The study uses some plants such as;clove buds, cinnamon barks, orange and lemon , eucalyptus leaves and cardamom seeds to extract their aromatic oils using this method, which is called Solar Distillation (SOD). In addition, another common extraction method is used, which is Hydrou Distillation (HD) to extract the aromatic oils from the plants under study for the purposes of comparison. The study included the evaluation of the chemical compounds of the aromatic oils using GC - MC technology; along with conducting chemical tests and check - ups for the physical properties and also included the evaluation of peroxideBvalue and the possibility to use these aromatic oils in some food systems. A feasibility study for the device is included too.The study shows an increase in solar radiation energy while the day hours go onward, and reaches its highest degree at midday then decreased. The average of solar radiation energy reached 902.66 W/m2 . This was recorded midday in June 2014. The results of the study reveal that the highest average for solar radiation energy is 1044 W/m2. However the lowest is 682 W/m2 and is recorded at 3 : 00pm in February 2014. The results showed an increase in the practical effeciency in summer months (April, May and June) more than in winter months (February and March). The highest average of the practical effeciency reaches 37.96% recorded at midday in June; whereas for the theoretical capacity is 44.78% recorded at midday in March. The results showed that the average of temperature of the absorbing plant has increased gradually till it reaches the highest degrees at midday then decreased till it reaches the lowest degrees at 3 : 00pm and the highest averages were recorded in June and reached 101.8C°. The highest and lowest averages of temperature of the steam produced from the solar collector were recorded in June and February and reached 96.84C° and 90.4C° at 12 : 00pm and 3 : 00pm respectively.The percentage of the extracted aromatic oils using Solar Distillation (SOD) method from the plants under study reaches 15.6, 3.6, 0.9, 1.0, 3.2, 4.4% however for those extracted using (HD) method, the percentage reaches 13.4, 3.3, 1.0, 1.1, 3.4, 4.1% respectively. Qualitative tests of the aromatic oils extracted using the above mentioned procedure show that they contain compounds of aldehyde, Ketone, terpines, steroides, phenolics, and was void of alkaloid, resins, saponines, flavones, glycosides, tannins, carbohydrates, peptides, and proteins. Peroxide value change for the aromatic oils was slight and reached 1mm equivalent during storage period which lasted for 60 days in aCtemperature 5 - 7c˚. It was observed from the analysis of aromatic oils extracted using SOD method in addition to GC - MS technology that the main compound of carnation, cinnamon, orange, lemon, eucalyptus and cardamom are; Eugonol, cinnamaldehyde, D - Limonene, D - Limonene, beta - cymene and equaliptol in the following proportions; 78.19, 64.8, 62.97, 47.50, 24.17, 41.74% respectively. The results showed that the highest and lowest specific gravity average at 25C˚, recorded using SOD method are 1.0410 and 0.8322 for carnation and orange; whereas the highest and lowest specific gravity average at 25c˚, recorded using HD method are 1.0470 and 0.8336 for carnation and orange oils also and respectively. The results also showed that the majority of the aromatic oils extracted using HD method have refractive index slightly higher than those extracted using SOD method. The highest refractive index is attained with carnation oil and reached 1.5322, while the lowest was with cardamom oil and reached 1.4614 under 20c. The Optical Rotation for orange oil is higher than other extracted oils and reached +98, +93 using SOD and HD; while the lowest is recorded with cinnamon oil and reached - 2, - 1 using the above mentioned methods respectively. All the extracted aromatic oils in both methods dissolve in ethanoic alcohol in different proportions. The degrees of dissolution for all of them are approximate with no much disparity between them. Aromatic oils entered the cake industry replacing vanilla. According to the results of the study no significant disparity related to the colour, substratum, or appearance is existed amongst cake types which contain aromatic oils and those void of them. However, there are some significant differences related to the taste and smell. As shown by the results, the cake that contain cardamom oil got the highest marks, followed by those containing lemon oil
