Hello everyone! Thanks for stoping by and watching my video. With this project I am celebrating that I recently reach 10k subscribers. I made a video about this topic in my beginings so I felt it was appropiate to repeat what I did with the difference of using much larger quantities and an appropiate bigger distiller. I hope you enjoy it watching it ;D
It will be really good if you could subscribe to my channel and ring the bell so that you get notified on the next videos. I'd trully appreciate that.
In my last video there are quite a lot of people that keep asking the same kind of questions so here it is a short FAQ:
- "This is not steam distillation but hydrodistillation": Ok. First of all, let me say that I am a chemist so we see things differently from people who do this kind of stuff in the more amateur way. No matter what you call it, the process that takes place is that the steam comes in contact with organic compounds and form an azeotrope in the gas phase, then they condense and in liquid form they no longer form an homogeneus mixture so they separate. This is called (sadly for some people D;), steam distillation. It seems like if the water comes in contact with the material to be extracted the process is called hydrodistillation. I do not really care about what is the proper name, but I really do when we are talking about the process in which this happens, physicochemically speaking. In addition, and I can say it from my personal experience, is that if you want to separate a compound by steam distillation, the most popular process is just adding water and perform a "simple distillation". This is not called hydrodistillation, so if my chemist colleagues dont called that, me neither haha. I really hope this gets clear.
- "Why use hexane?" : Again, I am a chemist. In almost 100% of organic research labs liquid-liquid extraction is mandatory and necessary. I had the proper solvent needed for that task so I used it. Why? Because I was working with very little amounts of essential oil and liquids have the bad habit to stick to the glassware. If I just decant the phases I'll lose not much quantity but enough to reduce my yield a lot (since, again, I was working with very little amounts). L-L extraction is easy to perform and allows us to take all the product that we want. As you can see, in this video I am working with huge, HUUUGEE, amounts of essential oil, so losing what may be stick to the glassware or even tiny frops is not so important.
- "Since the use of hexane... Is it safe to use?" : Probably not. In adittion I perform the L-L extraction because I just wanted to store my EO in the container, no use after all. If you want to use essential oil you must use glassware that has never been in contact with any chemicals and not use any solvent. The alternative is to just buy it, which is much cheaper. And that leads me to the last question.
- "Is'nt it more cheap to buy it rather than extracting it?" : Sure, but it is 0 fun and I can say I get my EO by my own ;D
Hope that clarifies some doubts about my last video.
In relation to all of that, I made his video. As you can see I did not use any solvent and all my glassware came out from the package from the first time, so it is perfectly safe to use it in perfumes and soaps.
Here you can see the paper that I found to show you the essential oil organic compounds and propotions: Comparison of lemon oil composition after using different extraction methods

I’ll never complain about the price again.
Indeed! Well I have to admit I was a bit mad with the amount of starting lemons in this video... but it was a 10k special!
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.
Thank you for this highly educational video! Now I understand why good essential oils are expensive.
Thank you!! ;D
SpearsM2 ditto!
The food and beverage industry might not waste anything and make more than one product. Cosmetics and fragrances too.
This is fascinating, but not something that I am likely to try at home.
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 ;)
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.
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.
High quality videos, keep it up.
Thank you, I will !!!
That is why essential oils are expensive because the process of making it is really complicated. Thanks to your video.
It's not complicated if you have the equipment. Actually very simple. With practice!
Indeed! Thanks for comenting and subscribing!
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.
The food and beverage industry might not waste anything and make more than one product. Cosmetics and fragrances also.
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).
This is probably the MOST helpful and informative video I have watched for distilling EO.
Thank you for this!
Subbed.
Thank you very much!! Really appreciate it :D
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 ☺️💜
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!!
My prof recommended our class to watch this video since online uni means no practical lab-doing haha
Wow!! So nice to hear that, it means a lot really!!! Thank your and your teacher for watching and recommending my video ;D
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 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
Thank you very much, that means a lot really!

Damn i love your content, please upload more videos🇮🇩
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.
That would be pretty clever yes, but I am not a full time E0 distiller, just a chemist with a YT channel :D
I congratulate you for your effort to extract lemon essential oil from lemon .
is there another way?
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!
Beby Girl, I cut and juice the lemons then use a zester.
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 u can infuse the zest in alcohol or any good oil to get the extract
@@giftedvoices533 will say for instance, almond oil be lemony almond , or will the oil itself just taste like lemon?
@@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
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!
thank you
I bet the biggest bumps in viewership come after the videos with Pink Floyd background music.
It is correlated 100% ;)
Do you happen to sell that lemon oil? :) very much interested, greetings from the Netherlands!
Hi! I plan to give it use in future videos so no, i do not sell it. But lemon essential oil is pretty cheap and can be found even on amazon ;D
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
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 !
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 :)
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.
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!
Buy the ESSENTIAL OIL DISTILLATION KIT I used here!!! : www.dixonscience.com/product/48796/Essential%20Oil%20Distiller,%202200w
Please, where can I get that wonderful grinder/blender? I need that in my life.
Hi, I have a nail polish that comes with the nail polish remover. I can't find it anywhere. I have the bottles empty, can you make this solution? Please
Since the essential oil is volatile and combustible, thought I'd leave this here
I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make LEMONADE!! GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! I demand to see life's manager! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!? I'm the man who's gonna' BURN your house down! with the lemons!”

Wise words, im crying almost
Hey, a really nice video again, well explained and interesting, if it is not indicate by TH-cam, I am following you from Belgium :P Just by curiosity, what is your formation ? I am studying chemistry so maybe you are a chemist brother ahaha x)
EDIT : I just looked the description and I saw that you're chemist x)
Nice to know you follow me from there!! Yes we are colleagues hehe. I studied 2 years of a proffesional degree before the university and I am just ending that this year. By summer I will be trully a chemist by definition hehe
Thabks for watching!!
[anyones input would be appreciated]
Also if i May ask...
As I’ve done my research on essential oil vs infused essential oil....
what are your thoughts on the differences as far as effectiveness?
Other than hair and body, i would like to make my oil for steam diffusing (inhaling) and aroma therapy diffusing.
Due to not having a distiller, i have only been infusing to have something for the time being.
Thanks
Hi! In my opinion there is not such a thing that getting pure essential oil, and thia is often obtained via distillation. I would say that if you can, you should always perform steam distillations. On the other hand there are materials that do not perform well in this kind of procedures, even though they smell a lot. I habe to say that I have never worked with infused oils but, chemichally speaking, I think the extraction yields are much lower
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
What are the component found in the water that it was thrown away? Do you think it would be possible to make essential oil at home without the lab equipment? I saw some people saying it is possible to make with alcohol and let sit for days and than wait for the alcohol to evaporate.
Hi! The water phase that comes with essential oils is called hydrosol and it is mostly water but contain little amounts of essential oil in it, in the form of colloids. You can prepare it but saturating water with an essential oil. Also this setup is, in my personal opinion, not that much "lab grade". You can have this in your home of course. In fact it is the better option to get pure essential oils.
With solvents of course you will have your essential oil but the yield will be very low and the same with purity. You will have other stuf like fats, sugars, proteins, dyes and other things in your final product plus leting just evaporate the solvent will make you lose some of the essential oil itself, as it is usually pretty volatile.
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
i have no idea why my eye was burning while he squeezed the lemon skin :)
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
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 😉✨😉
Nice video, for next video make isolated compound based from this essential oil, like isolating that limonene
on the flip side, you also get some awesome lemonade.
now I know why EO is expensive
Satisfaction guaranteed. Am also a woman. Never heard of you before. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome to the comunity :D
@@Glattuh thank you. 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄
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!
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
Thanks for showing your stats at the end. Interesting 🥰💙💛 From Australia
Your channel deserves many times more subscribers
Well, we are in the right path for that haha. I am growing faster and faster each month ;D
Thanks for watching by the way!!!
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.
@@anasthase100 what are you refering to
@@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 ...
@@algonzalez6853 - To you.
Very informative👍💕💕💕💕
Thank you very much!
Can this distillation method extract the essential oil of frangipani? Thank you.
I would need to test it for myself in order give you an honest answer, but I would say yes. Flower essential oil can be extracted by this method, most probably in lesser yields
I can only afford the lemon 😭
At times you used white letters over white background making hard to follow
Yeah I am awared of that, but do not worry, upcoming videos will have my own voice narrating them :D
I tried this but my peels started burning at the base of the flask and also did not get oil only water 😔 can you please help me what could be the reason
Maybe a combination of too much heat and low water to peel proportion ;)
@@Glattuh thank you. Can you please tell me how much and water proportion you are using?
What if the distilled water with essential oil are freezed..could it be separated easily
Well decresing temperature is a common thing in order to separate things yeah. In this case i dont see that is necesarry because it separates itself prety well. I asume some compounds can crystallize so I dont really recommend it. I know for example that menthol crystallizes from minth essential oil when it is freezed :D
If you add a couple of kilos of sugar at 4 minute mark and store it for a couple of weeks the result is much more fun!😂😂😂
I know where you go hehe. In fact as far as I know alcohol is directly added to lemon peel in order to make limoncello :D
@@Glattuh once we paid 80 euros for a bottle of limoncello in a Venice restaurant. That wasn't funny...
Can same procedure be used to obtain EO from lemongrass (Cymbopogon)
Yes! Pretty much the same procedure, it o ly changes in the raw material used and how it is blended maybe
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!
Thank you versy much! I am growing slowly but surely so I hope the channel become something important and relevant one day :D
Muchas gracias por tus videos, te encontré buscando un ejemplo visual de lo que estoy leyendo para mi investigación y aparte pusiste las propiedades con todo y fuente. 3x1:D Seguiré leyendo pero mucha suertee, espero que tu canal siga creciendo, estudio química en alimentos, en mi salón la mayoría son mujeres, seguro que subirá la proporción de género, ánimo.
Gracias a ti por verme!! Saludos
I’m more interested with the apparatus used in the video! Where to buy them?
Video description!
Should put it in the fire or no
In fact, limonene is proposed as an alternative to biodiesel in diesel engines as it burns very clean! Try to smash a lemon peel in from of a flame and see what happens :D
Every time I buy any essential oils from now on I will not complain about the prices.
The food and beverage industry might not waste anything and make more than one product. Cosmetics and fragrances also.
One traditional way to dry the last bits of water from an essential oil is to use dehydrated magnesium sulphate powder.
Edited to add: Loved the channel traffic analysis, I am glad you are getting more female-identified viewers. But I am a polite socialist. Though, take some comfort from the fact that many women on social media probably pretend to be men to avoid the creeps.
That oil would also be perfect for use in chocolate, 1 or 2 drops in 100g.
Yeah it is pretty common in organic synthesis too, I do not have that by the moment, but thanks for reminding me I will probably get some. And nice point of view, I could not imagine the male gender suplantation trick haha. I am pretty happy to be honest that not obly is quite high but the numbers are increasing too ;)
♥️from India...!!Please make a video of ginger essential oil...!!
Will do that! Thanks for the idea!
Wow, is it christmas already?
Also... greetings from the 0,9% will we see more about ants in the future?
Almost! Enjoy the video :D
About the ants, well. At this moment that hobby is quite on standby, in fact some videos about aquariums are coming soon I hope. Nevertheless I will post videos of ants too, standby does not mean stopped hehe :D
@@Glattuh great, if you need some colonies contact me, I have plenty and can obtain almost any autoctonous species during the summer if you tell me in advance.
@@tiusso Nice to know! Will be in contact!
Felicidades es usted muy didáctico, muchas gracias, soy de BOLIVIA, y soy varón
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.
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.
Thanks! Nice to know my video was useful for you!
Can you produce similar video of producing essential oil via vacuum distillation instead of steam distillation in atmospheric pressure? If you boil the essentials out from the peel in lower temperature (in vacuum conditions), the citrus oil would not isomerized so much as it will when it boils out in water boiling temperature in room pressure.
I can vacuum distill something one day yes! Thank you for the suggestion
Thank you for Teaching! You are my teacher of Essential Oil Distillation Process! But would this hobby be too expensive? As we can't use so much Lemon EO anyways ^^
Thank you very much for watching! Well the amount of EO in this experiment is so high because I was celebrating that I recahed 10k subs, so that I started with 10kg of lemons haha. In addition, lemons peel yields quite a lot of EO. That does not happen with many other things, so the apparatus I used is worth investing for other materials.
@@Glattuh Yes, definitely, those items could be very nice production tool to build supplies for the Demand of EO in the market. Your method of water extraction from the yield is very nice. Perhaps if you do more experiment on items like Frankincense EO extraction, Myrrh, Rosemary, and easily available materials, I believe you could have more viewership ^^ Many EO enthusiast would love to see how to make those Essential Oil with your apparatus ^^
Yeah I have thought of that, but the problem is that the procedure is the same so the videos may become a little bit repetitive. Anyways maybe I do more extractions but without explanations and so!
@@Glattuh Looking forward to see your fleet of Distillation Process with Different Materials to make EO. I think Frankincense, Myrrh, Rosemary, and other low cost herbs could be a very good production materials to build small scale supply to supplement the USD 7 Billion Dollar EO market ^^ It's really fun to see the distillation process, and the reward is Essential Oils ^^ [You are the Heisenberg of EO - Remember Breaking Bad?] You are a great COOK!
How has the aroma of the hydrosol (water part) changed this time since you are using whole lemons instead of just the peels? You mentioned in the other video’s comments that it did not smell good.
Well it is virtually the same. Very little amount of the essential oil can be dissolved in the aqueous phase, but that doesnt mean it smells like the pure EO with much less power. Some compounds exhibit diferent smells when varying the concentration in air. In addition, it is know that some compounds of rotten flesh or compounds associated with many "disgusting" things are pleasent for some people. I in fact worked in a lab where some colleagues were using thiophenol, and in the first day it smelled terrible to me but as the week ended I found it less and less terrible. Typical example is gasoline though, I love it and many people just faint from smelling it kilometers away haha
You said this can be used for soap and perfume so I'm guessing it's not food grade because you use Hexane to clean the glass wear ......am I correct?
Not in this video! I used hexane in the first version of this project, a couple of years ago, buyt not in this one!! This time it is completely safe for being used in cosmethics :D
+Nation Of Our Hobbies Were you also planing on extracting citric acid from those lemons?
I have another project with the juice but not citric acid! I will look to do it some day. It feels like this channels is only about lemons haha
@@Glattuh Nation Of Our Lemons ;)
I like lavender essential oil really is relaxing...
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!
Excellent video. Can you please let me know your email so i can correspond directly with you. I have many queries about essential oil extraction. As i have a farm and am growing various fruits and herbs . I would like to know especially about extracting essential oil of some different types and varieties of citrus fruits that is unique to my part of india. I would like to know about using carrier oils as solvents, as in a long term exposure and slow process.
If you want to contact me you have my email at the description tab in the channel ;D
That was a good video please do you sell the machine for essential oil if not how do l get

this channel will blow up
I hope so!!
I just discover your channel and it is really dimnd , good luck , your viewers are asian europian or american i think that im the only african here
Thank you!!! Nice to hear I have audience in all continents :D
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
Very informative video, i want to khnow something , is it compalsory to use ripe lemon, otherwise if i use green lemon to make oil then it will good or not, bcos green lemons are available,,,reply pls!
Hi! No it is not mandatory. That will affect the yield and maybe the composition but I am pretty sure green non-ripe lemons will give you essential oil too! If you scratch the peel and strong smell comes out of it, then it is a yes!
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.
Do they supply this equipment in INDIA ?
Hi! Just confirmed it, yes they do!
Can this type of distilled oil be used in beverages?
Sure! Although I cant say in which proportion, which I asume its very little
How much rendemens of EO Lemon from your experience? Thx
My cheap ninja blender could blend way better than that Thermomix. However the Ninja blender's control system is garbage. Also don't use white subtitles on white background, it's difficult and almost impossible to read the texts, come on bro you're scientist, should know this.
Aquí un español, sigue así! Buen vídeo jaja. Sugerencia para vídeo: Fabricar bicarbonato sódico mediante el proceso solvay. Llevo un tiempo buscando esa info y no he sido capaz de encontrar nada decente, "from scratch". Te apuntarías un buen tanto si fueses el primero en hacerlo :P.
Muchas gracias!!!! Esa me la apunto, maybe algún dia puedo prepararlo si!

Quality of your videos have greatly improved over the years
Nice to hear that! Thank you for commenting ;)
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.
Thanks for your comment! In fact I was told this more than once yeah. The point is that next videos will have voice overs so no more text needed :D
I try to click the link to buy equipment like this video , but the link is not work properly again..... Colud you please help us , how can we get the equipment / distillator ?
Brutal my friend. I enjoyed your video a lot because I am chemical engineer and that world for my it is georgeus!
Thank you!!!
Very cool it is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hello, thank you for making the video. Do you still keep any record of how much essential oil you have collected from the 10kg of lemon you bought?
I also want to know
wow this channel is so good. you deserve more subscriber. that's one from me :)
maybe do mint extract next? but make it more 'homemade do-able'? :)
Can you not use food grade Ethanol instead of water you can collect ethanol and re circulate using Lavoisier"s tube. I don't know this is just a suggestion. By the way what's the use of this lemonene oil?
Better late than never....THAT WAS AWESOME! Love your work!!!
Wow. Cuanto.esfuerzo hay en este video. Ahí es cuando da coraje que un tipo que hace tonterías tenga miles y miles de vistas en un video que le costó nada grabar y editar y algo así con soporte educacional se quede abajo.
Continua, ya tienes un suscriptor más.
Muchas gracias por el comentario! Eso ocurre porque micha gente anda buscando entretenerse unos minutos y ya está. En mi caso, el canal esta orientado a otro tipo de audiencia y mi estilo de video va acorde con ello: son mas pausados, hay que estar relativamente atento o atenta y no son para ver en unos minutos.
La buena noticia es que el canal crece cada vez un poco mas rapido lo cual esta muy bien!
De nuevo gracias por el like y tu comentario!
Un saludo
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.
Thanks for watching me! Bests
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.
Any idea where I can acquire the distillation apparatus featured in this video?
Many thanks

you should assume that your viewer has some intelligence, is it necessary to show each step for each lime. Thy adding some informative comment
I was hoping for some easier way without using the chemistry distilling unit:) Sorry good video
This is the easier method for amateur purposes. Dont be fooled by the amount of "apparatus" that is needed, they are much simple distillation units, but the process itself is quite straight forward for almost all essential oils :D
Hi, may i know where do u get the details for composition of the essential oil?
