I've seen first hand some of the uses of Eugenol in dentistry so it has been very interesting to read about in both of your posts. I did not realise the long history and just how many uses it actually has. It is quite an involved process you have to use to extract the essential oil. How long does it take you to go through the entire process?

Hello: D. Approximately 4 to 8 hours, depends on the equipment. The hydro-distiller is the most used to save time, while the water is distilled and the oil is separated. The soxhlet is more efficient but additional processes must be done, because unfortunately on occasions the solvent drags other things, therefore it is necessary to do purity analysis
