Oils are organic substances containing high amounts of carbon and hydrogen, which do not mix with water but easily mix with other oils. Volatility and Stability in Oils: Fixed Oil • These are liquid products obtained from plants, usually fruits and seeds. • They are odorless. It is used as a carrier in essential oils. It is obtained by pressing, extraction, and maceration methods. Fixed oils are used alone. Depending on the properties of the oils, they are used internally and externally. Because it is a fixed oil, it leaves a stain when dripped. Essential Oil • Essential oil is a natural product obtained from the leaves, fruits, bark, or roots of plants, which is liquid at room temperature, usually colorless or light yellow, volatile, and has a strong odor. • They have their own characteristic odors. It is obtained by water/steam distillation method. Essential oils are not used alone. They should be used diluted with fixed oils in certain ratios. Except for exceptions, they are not used internally. Because it is volatile, it does not leave a stain where it is dripped. Methods of Obtaining Oils Cold Pressing This is the process of crushing the seed parts of plants, which are rich in fixed oils, with the help of a press and extracting the oil. In the cold press method, the useful and valuable components in the oil are not lost, so the quality of the oil produced is high. Steam Distillation The process carried out with steam distillation; The process involves placing plants, fresh or dried, in a container with a separate basket, boiling the water below, and passing the steam through the plants. This steam is then cooled to separate the essential oil and the resulting hydrosol (flower water), which retains the beneficial properties of the distilled plant. Maceration is the process of preparing oily mixtures by allowing crushed herbal drugs to sit in a carrier oil for a period of time. It is a method of separating the natural plant components that have passed into the carrier oil.
