Description

Maha Mohamed Soltan and four co-authors compare ways to extract rosemary oil in a study from two thousand twenty-four. The herb's oil carries flavor and medicinal value. Besides the standard steam method, they tried soaking in olive oil and a high-pressure carbon dioxide process.

All three oils shared the same two lead compounds, with pine-scented pinene high in two of them. The carbon dioxide oil stood out for borneol as its third main part. Against eight microbes, the oils differed: the steam oil alone also fought fungi, while effects varied across six microbes. The authors praise olive oil soaking as a green, home-friendly method with ancient roots. They frame it as a complement to standard extraction.
