Abstract
The conventional methods for obtaining volatile oils have some disadvantages because of the large amount of plant material consumed needed, long time for extraction, high energy expense and it is the possible transformation of some volatile compounds also. Nowadays, many research teams try to find new extraction methods for volatile oils so that they can obtain as much as possible precise results. We tried to make a theoretical comparative study using our results obtained with the most common method for volatile oil isolation, hydrodistillation, which is used in our laboratory and the results from the literature, obtained with other extraction methods.
