Technology Flow
Cold Pressing Method (Peel Oil)
Citrus Reception → Cleaning & Disinfection→ Peel Separation → Cold Press Extraction → Centrifugal Separation → Fine Filtration → Filling → Storage
Core Functional Modules
- Cleaning & Disinfection Line: Equipped with ultrasonic cleaning and ozone disinfection devices to completely remove pesticide residues and microorganisms on the peel.
- Peel Separator: Mechanically separates citrus peel and pulp, the pulp can be used for juice production simultaneously to maximize resource utilization.
- Cold Press Extractor: Low-temperature grinding of peel (temperature ≤40℃), breaking oil sacs to release essential oil, extraction rate 0.3–0.5%.
- Centrifugal Separator: High-speed centrifugation (5000–8000 rpm) separates essential oil and water to obtain crude essential oil.
- Refining & Filtration: Removes impurities, ensures purity.
Projects
- Morocco, 2009: Citrus Concentrate Beverage Production Line
- Sichuan, China in 2016: Orange Processing Production Line
- Yichang, China in 2022: 200T/day NFC orange juice line for a leading beverage company.
FAQ
Q1: What are the different application scenarios of cold pressing and distillation for citrus essential oil extraction?
Cold pressing is suitable for citrus peels (such as orange peel, lemon peel), the extracted oil has a strong aroma similar to fresh fruit, mostly used in food and daily chemicals; distillation is suitable for citrus flowers and leaves, with a softer aroma, mostly used in high-end cosmetics and aromatherapy.
Q2: How to test the purity of citrus essential oil?
Tested by gas chromatography (GC), the core indicator is the content of active ingredients (such as limonene ≥90%), and the content of water and impurities is also tested to ensure purity ≥98% (distillation method) or ≥99% (cold pressing method).
Q3: What are the storage requirements for citrus essential oil?
It should be stored in a light-proof, sealed, and refrigerated (5–10℃) environment, avoiding high temperature, light, and oxygen contact, with a shelf life of 24–36 months; it should be used as soon as possible after opening to prevent aroma volatilization.
