Method for producing lemon essential oil

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing lemon essential oil. The method comprises the steps of cleaning and disinfection, essential oil extraction, oil-water separation, packaging and storage and the like, wherein a scarifying mode is adopted for extracting essential oil in the essential oil extraction step; lemon fruits are fed into an upper quantitative storage bin of a vertical oil grinding machine from the upper part of the oil grinding machine, fall into a middle grinding plate for grinding, and are discharged from a lateral surface; the lemon fruits continuously roll on the grinding plate under the high-speed rotation of the grinding plate, and also continuously collide with four walls of the oil grinding machine under the action of centrifugal force, and the peels of the lemon fruits are impacted by the rotating grinding plate, so that oil vacuoles of the peels of the fruits are completely fractured and broken to discharge the essential oil. According to the method, the vertical oil grinding machine which is novel equipment is used for extracting the essential oil, so that the lemon oil extraction rate reaches 0.5 percent; a feeding amount, fruit grinding time and oil grinding rotating speed can be correspondingly regulated according to characteristics of lemons, and continuous production can be realized; the produced lemons have integral shapes, and can also be processed into products such as lemon slices and dices besides the conventional use of juicing residue formation, so that the subsequent processing and utilization range of the lemons is widened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pure natural plant essential oil production, in particular to a production method of lemon essential oil.
