Total Volatile Oils
USP <561> Steam Distillation
Steam Distillation Unit
Method Description
Volatile oils contain mixtures of terpenes, esters, and other aromatic compounds that contribute to plant flavor and therapeutic properties. This measurement is critical for herbal product manufacturers because volatile oil content directly correlates with product potency, flavor intensity, and therapeutic efficacy. Steam distillation extracts these compounds, with the method quantifying both total extractable oil content and individual volatile components.
