Abstract

The vetiver root (Vetiveria zizanioides) has been used to extract essential oil using two different techniques: hydrodistillation and steam distillation. Due to its quicker extraction times, simplicity of use, and capacity to produce greater yields of 0.83% and 0.79%, respectively, this study proved that the hydrodistillation technology is preferable than steam distillation
