ABSTRACT: This article is investigating the preparation of essential oil from the
ether-containing plants of Juniper (Juniperus) and spruce (Picea) leaves by using the simple water distillation equipment. This water
distillation method forms an essential oil with water vapor from plants of
Juniper (Juniperus) and spruce (Picea) leaves based on Dalton’s law of partial
pressure, applicable for plants containing a large amount of ether oil where
distillation temperature is not affecting
product quality. Obtained essential oils are widely used in medicine,
perfumery, cosmetics, and food industry. In addition, these essential oils
possess different activities including antimicrobial, antiviral, and
anti-inflammatory, which have different effects such as adaptogenic,
antidepressive, disinfection, and wound healing, diuretic, and antipyretic.
