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.

Summary

Introduction

Ether containing trees Juniperus and Picea are widely distributed indigenous species in the Southern region of Kyrgyzstan (Figure 1). Juniperus species are used for the treatment of hyperglycemia, tuberculosis, bronchitis, pneumonia, ulcers, intestinal worms, to heal wounds and cure liver disease; berries are used in the treatment of skin diseases including skin rash and eczema, respiratory tract diseases, asthma, common cold, cough, bronchitis, throat inflammation, pneumonia and tuberculosis [11] [15]. In this regard, the study of the production and use of essential oil from ether-containing plants, including the leaves of spruce and juniper leaves is relevant
