Problems solved by technology

Its low-concentration characteristics are easily absorbed by the skin, completely free of fragrance and alcohol, mild and non-irritating, can be used every day, and can also replace pure water to prepare various facial masks; After chemical action, the plant active ingredients are easily destroyed, and its efficacy will also be lost; among them, in the process of extracting citronella pure dew, because the solubility of citronella essential oil in water is extremely small, in the process of preparing citronella hydrosol by steam distillation, A part of essential oil components and a small part of small molecule water-soluble substances will enter the water layer hydrosol, resulting in low purity of the extracted hydrosol; High, affecting the aroma of pure dew, making it smell sour and astringent, affecting the sense of use, serious loss of top aroma and heavy color, high impurity content in oil, and insufficient aroma

The method has the advantages that the extracted hydrolat is high in purity, high in volatile main component content and pure in fragrance, has citronella fragrance, the hydrolat concentration reaches 99.2%, the volatile main components comprise more than 20% of citronellol, more than 25% of citronellal, more than 3% of citronellal and more than 25% of geranial.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of natural plant active ingredient extraction, in particular to a method for extracting citronella hydrosol. Background technique [0002] Citronella is a perennial herb widely distributed in Asia, Africa and America. Suitable for growing in tropical, subtropical, plateau grasslands and arid regions. Most of the citronella plants have the characteristics of strong regeneration, many tillers, fast growth, small investment, quick results and easy development and planting. There are more than 140 species of citronella plants in the world. There are 8 species of citronella plants in my country, namely Java citronella, lemongrass, rue grass, tall stalk citronella (withered grass), red stalk grass (Lusha citronella), twisted sheath citronella (wild citronella), Lemongrass and Maplegrass are mainly distributed in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian and other places, and are important grass...
