In cloudy autumn weather we subconsciously reach for bright fruit which contain a lot of useful substances and vitamins. The first occur, of course, a citrus — they give to cheerfulness and load with energy. But to receive a charge of freshness and not to be dissolved in gloomy fall, it is not obligatory to eat them, essential oils of a citrus have not smaller advantage.

Today we will talk about with what useful properties essential oil of orange as well as where it can be used and also about what impact it has on an organism and what application was found by this product in cosmetology can sate your organism.

As receive essential oils

For us, ordinary consumers, everything looks simply: we come to shop or drugstore where we get a small bottle with essential oil, without thinking what processing before it there underwent plants. Meanwhile, receiving fragrant air — process quite labor-consuming. In total ways of extraction of oils exists more than five, we will consider the most widespread.

This way of receiving fragrant liquid is the most widespread. At least because it demands least of all expenses financial, however time occupies often more, than other methods. In addition among experts there is an opinion that only by means of a distiller — the device thanks to which extraction of air is made — it is possible to receive the real essential oil. And the product received by other methods gravitates to the absolute or essence.

Process happens as follows: over the container with the boiling water have a special cube in which there are raw materials, whether it be flowers, stalks, roots, a peel of fruits or branches. Influences initial material of couples as well as on our skin — a time reveals that leads subsequently to the fact that after a while together with steam through a special tube also substances will disappear. They will not be able to be dissolved in air as the tube is equipped with the special mechanism or the device which will help steam to cool down. Then the same steam which already cooled down in the form of liquid will flow down in a flask. But as oils have lighter structure, they will gather on a water surface which after processing together with couples of plant is called as distillate. Thus it will be rather simple to separate air from water (it is difficult to make it in house conditions without special device in view of what it is undesirable).

If distillation is suitable for processing practically of any raw materials which contain essential oil, then by method of an anfleurage get the absolute which is contained in flowers. For this purpose petals display on glass sheets which are already moistened with animal fat. The purified fats of a pig or cow are the most suitable. As soon as petals wither — it is necessary to stack new. It is necessary to repeat the procedure until fat does not absorb in itself the maximum quantity of flower air. This stage of an anfleurage proceeds, as a rule, several days. The fat purified from surplus in the form of flowers and their stalks which absorbed in itself(himself) fragrant oils is called "lipstick". But also it is not the end result. Lipstick needs to be placed in the container with alcohol where it will be dissolved. Capacity has to be stirred up for day — thanks to it the absolute will separate from animal fat. Unlike essential oil, the absolute is a concentrate and can stiffen at the cool or room temperature of air. To return it liquid state, it is enough to pick up a bottle only.

Whether you know? Used air of plants more than five thousand years ago. Point numerous archeological excavations during which found bottles to it. Even in those ancient times air at east people enjoyed the greatest popularity: Egyptians, Chinese, Persians. And here residents of Rome and Greece learned about such product only after conquest of Egypt. References to air can be found not only in the history, but also religions: nearly 200 times are mentioned in the Bible of oil.

By means of this method from raw materials release concrete. This substance which is even more concentrated than the absolute, and 2.5 of its grams are equal to 100 grams of the best absolute got by way of an anfleurage. Process of extraction happens as follows: racks on which flowers are spread out are located in big sealed containers. On the one hand from a rack there is a liquid solvent, and with another — a vacuum distiller. In the capacity there is also a process of extraction of oils.

Solvent passes kind of through flowers, releasing air then the liquid received as a result is divided, receiving that concrete. Can use solvent for processing of the following party of flowers. As concrete is even more concentrated, it subsequently as well as the absolute, is subjected to intensive stirring. It is necessary in order that vegetable wax did not get to the final product of use. Thus by method of extraction receive the quality absolute.

This way one of the most ancient therefore it differs from others in the simplicity. From the name it is possible to understand that receiving fragrant liquid happens to the help of an extraction. Raw materials are exposed to press pressure therefore air turns out. But this way not is suitable for any material. As a rule, the dried peel of a citrus becomes initial material. Pulp and a firm thin skin in the course of extraction of essential oil do not participate. By means of a cold extraction it is possible to receive air of a lemon or orange even in own kitchen. For this purpose the dried peel can be passed via the device for crushing of garlic, desirable new, otherwise there is a risk to receive oil with a garlic note. The quality of liquid will depend in this case also on the fruit as sometimes sellers of shops process a citrus solution which will longer allow them to look fresh and beautiful. Strangely enough, but carrying out a cold extraction manually is considered in the best way to receive qualitative air of a citrus.

This way appeared not so long ago therefore has no wide circulation. Nevertheless, by means of filtration it is the best of all to receive oil of tree species or seeds of plants, like fennel, an anise and others. The principle has similarity to distillation. The difference is in what at filtration of couples influences raw materials from above, and thus steam which contains essence of plants, gets to a tube together with usual steam where it is gradually cooled. From a tube liquid gets at first to one capacity, then — to another. At each subsequent capacity temperature is lower, than at previous.

In addition, the method of filtration demands less time. In comparison with 12 hours which will be required on distillation the filtration will take away about 4 hours. Respectively, material will be exposed to steam treatment less. Experienced experts know that the less time raw materials lie fallow, the essential oil at the exit will be better.

Whether you know? Orange air is received, as a rule, by method of a cold extraction. However, besides fruits, more precisely, than a dried peel, for receiving curative liquid also orange flowers are used. From them receive not role air, and leaves of a tree serve as material for receiving oil under the name petitgreyn.

Orange oil is not an exception. Today process of receiving oil is automated, and the producer is free to choose a way of receiving a product. For example, in South America the production of essential oil of orange quite often comes along with receiving juice from a citrus. In that case the quality of air falls, respectively, also the cost of such oil goes down.

To buy quality oil, it is necessary to pay attention to the producer, first of all. If on the label you saw Mexico, Spain, Italy, the USA or Brazil, then can safely put oil in a basket — these countries producers are recognized as the first in production of essential oil of orange.

One more important factor is the container in which there is air. First, it has to be closed hermetically, and secondly, the bottle cannot be light or even transparent at all. It is impossible to subject essential oils to sunlight, otherwise they will quickly lose the properties and will become unsuitable for use. The small bottle which contains oil surely has to be dark.

If you independently extracted oil, then by all means pour it in a bottle from dark glass which it is dense, it is hermetically closed. Thanks to it substances from oil will not disappear that will prolong the term of its validity and will keep useful properties.

It is the best of all to store the container with oil in dark places where sunshine do not get. It is connected not only with impact of ultraviolet on air, but also with influence of heat on oil. Constantly being under the warming beams, liquid will heat up that will lead to the fact that the product will simply deteriorate. The perfect place for storage it is possible to call the fridge in which temperature drops are impossible.
