Garlic Essential Oil / Garlic Oil / Allium sativum Oil / Alliaceae Oil / Allium Oil / Ajo Oil / Lasun Oil

Description
Garlic Essential Oil is derived from the garlic bulb (Allium sativum) through a process called steam distillation. It's important to note that while garlic is commonly used in culinary and medicinal applications, the essential oil is not as widely available or used due to its strong odour and potency.

Plant Part Used
Bulb of the garlic plant is used to make Garlic Essential Oil.

Extraction Process:
Steam distillation is typically used to extract Garlic Essential Oil. This method involves passing steam through the garlic bulbs, which helps release the volatile aromatic compounds present in the plant material. The steam, along with the essential oil molecules, is then condensed and collected, with the essential oil separated from the water.
