He aha nā ʻaila nui?

Loaʻa ka hapa nui o nā aila pono ma o ka Steam Distillation.Me kēia ʻano hana, ua hoʻolapalapa ʻia ka wai i loko o ka ipuhao, a neʻe ka mahu i loko o ka mea kanu i kau ʻia ma luna o ka ipu wai, e hōʻiliʻili i ka ʻaila a holo i loko o kahi condenser e hoʻohuli hou i ka mahu i wai.Kapa ʻia ka huahana hope i ka distillate.Aia ka distillate i ka hydrosol a me ka aila pono.

ʻAila nuiʻO nā ʻaila i ʻike ʻia a me nā aila ethereal a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻaila volatile, he wai hoʻoheheʻe hydrophobic koʻikoʻi i lawe ʻia mai nā mea kanu.Lawe ʻia nā ʻaila nui mai nā pua, nā lau, nā ʻōpala, ka ʻili, nā hua a i ʻole nā ​​aʻa o nā kumu lāʻau, nā lāʻau, nā mea kanu a me nā kumulāʻau.Aia i loko o ka ʻaila koʻikoʻi ka ʻala ʻano a i ʻole ke ʻano o ka mea kanu i lawe ʻia mai ai.

ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo ka ʻaila koʻikoʻi ke kumu i unuhi ʻia mai nā pua, nā petals, nā lau, nā aʻa, ka ʻili, nā hua, nā resins, nā ʻanoʻano, nā nila, a me nā lālā o kahi mea kanu a lāʻau paha.

Loaʻa nā ʻaila koʻikoʻi i loko o nā ʻāpana kūikawā a i ʻole nā ​​​​kelepona o nā mea kanu.ʻO lākou ke kumu ma hope o ka ʻala kikoʻī a me nā ʻono o nā mea ʻala, nā mea kanu, nā pua a me nā hua.He mea hoihoi ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana ʻaʻole loaʻa nā mea kanu āpau i kēia mau mea ʻala.I kēia manawa, ʻike ʻia ma kahi o 3000 mau aila koʻikoʻi, a ma kahi o 300 i manaʻo ʻia he mea waiwai nui.

ʻO nā ʻaila koʻikoʻi he maʻalahi a hoʻoheheʻe koke ʻia ke ʻike ʻia i ka ea.ʻAʻole waihoʻoluʻu ka hapa nui o nā ʻaila koʻikoʻi koe wale nō ka ʻaila kinamona ʻulaʻula, camomile he polū a me ka aila wormwood he ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke kala.Pēlā nō, ʻoi aku ka māmā o ka hapa nui o nā ʻaila koʻikoʻi ma mua o ka wai koe wale nō nā mea liʻiliʻi e like me ka aila koʻikoʻi o ke kinamona, ka aila koʻikoʻi keleka a me ka ʻaila ʻalamona ʻawaʻawa.He wai maʻamau ka ʻaila nui, akā hiki ke paʻa (orris) a i ʻole semi-solid e like me ka mahana (rose).

ʻO nā aila koʻikoʻi he ʻano paʻakikī a loaʻa i nā haneli o nā mea kemika kūʻokoʻa a me nā ʻano like ʻole me nā alcohols, aldehydes, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons, ketones, a me nā phenols o ka hui o nā mono- a me sesquiterpenes a i ʻole phenylpropanes a me nā lactones nonvolatile a me nā waxes.
