    What separation method is involved in the production of essential oil?  - ProProfs

    What separation method is involved in the production of essential oil? 

    • Distillation 

    • Fractional distillation 

    • Decantation 

    • Filtration 

    Correct Answer
    A. Distillation 
    Explanation
    Distillation is the correct answer because it is the separation method commonly used in the production of essential oils. Distillation involves heating a liquid mixture to create vapor, which is then cooled and condensed to separate the desired components. In the case of essential oils, the plant material is usually steam distilled, where steam is passed through the plant material to extract the volatile oils. This method allows for the separation of the essential oil from the other components of the plant material.

    Correct Answer
    A. Scent 
    Explanation
    The most desirable quality of essential oils is their scent. Essential oils are known for their aromatic properties and are commonly used in aromatherapy for their pleasant and therapeutic fragrances. The scent of essential oils can have a calming or invigorating effect on the mind and body, and can be used to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and improve overall well-being. Additionally, the scent of essential oils can also be used to enhance the fragrance of personal care products, perfumes, and household cleaners.

    • Allergy 

    • Nausea 

    Correct Answer
    A. Neurodegeneration 
    Explanation
    Neurodegeneration is a condition characterized by the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the brain or spinal cord. It is not typically caused by the improper use of essential oils. Skin irritation, allergy, and nausea, on the other hand, can be potential side effects of essential oil use if they are used improperly or in excessive amounts.

    • Kerosine 

    • Ethanol 

    • Quick lime 

    Correct Answer
    A. Ethanol 
    Explanation
    Ethanol is a good solvent for essential oils because it has the ability to dissolve the non-polar compounds found in essential oils. Essential oils are made up of volatile aromatic compounds that are not soluble in water. Ethanol, being a polar solvent, can dissolve these compounds and create a solution that is suitable for various applications such as perfumes, aromatherapy, and medicinal purposes.

    • Lubricating oil 

    Correct Answer
    A. Lubricating oil 
    Explanation
    Lubricating oil is not produced from essential oils. Essential oils are natural oils extracted from plants and are commonly used in perfumes, food additives, and soaps. However, lubricating oil is typically derived from petroleum or synthetic sources and does not involve essential oils in its production.

    Which of these is irrelevant in the pharmacology of essential oils?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is irrelevant in the pharmacology of essential oils? 

    • Dosage 

    • Potency 

    • Route of administration 

    • Method of preparation 

    Correct Answer
    A. Method of preparation 
    Explanation
    In the pharmacology of essential oils, the method of preparation is irrelevant because it does not affect the chemical composition or therapeutic properties of the oil. The dosage, potency, and route of administration are all important factors that can influence the efficacy and safety of essential oils. However, the method of preparation, such as distillation or cold pressing, does not impact the pharmacological properties of the oil once it has been obtained.

    • Turpentine oil 

    Correct Answer
    A. Tea tree oil 
    Explanation
    Tea tree oil can cause contact dermatitis because it contains a compound called terpinen-4-ol, which is known to be a skin irritant. When applied directly to the skin, tea tree oil can cause redness, itching, and inflammation, leading to contact dermatitis. It is important to dilute tea tree oil before using it topically and to do a patch test to check for any allergic reactions.

    Florasol can be used to extract essential oils. Florasol is a solvent that is commonly used in the extraction process. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons that can dissolve the essential oils from plant material. The plant material is soaked or immersed in Florasol, and the solvent helps to extract the oils. Once the oils are extracted, the Florasol can be evaporated, leaving behind the concentrated essential oils.
