  • How do you extract oil from plants?
  • Steam Distillation This is a process where steam goes through the plant leaves to extract the oils. If you plan on extracting plant oils on a regular basis, then invest in a still. You can purchase a still on Amazon for around $100. Fun fact: this is the most popular form of extracting oils from your plants.

  • What is hexane extraction?
  • Hexane extraction is especially utilized to produce soybean oil, which is the most consumed vegetable oil in the U.S. [ 30 ]. However, hexane is explosive, making it unsafe for workers in food-processing plants. In addition, it is both a neurological toxin and a hazardous air pollutant and can cause environmental pollution [ 31 ].
