Steam Distillation of Cloves

[@kaylarice4303]

Amazing demonstration!!!! I am ready to perform this experiment next week thank you sooooooo much

[@murlis3666]

Valuable information and as a Chemical Engineer my regards to you Sir

[@rabahiso-dz4424]

It's very easy to follow and understand. Thank you very much Sir! God bless.

[@derikfrantz3141]

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video useful.

​@@derikfrantz3141- Next oxidize the OH on the methoxy group and close the ring to yield Benzodioxol. ;)

Doctor Derik Frantz, it is good to see such chemical wizardry. I was researching the essential oil content of the plant Syzygium aromaticum and this partially approximates to 3% in the plant in the so-called brute state. Excellent didactic video illustration.

[@cherylanderson1391]

Thank you very much - great video and explanation given

[@jakospence]

Great video. One question I have is why do you salt the distillate with sodium bromide? Is eugenol reactive with the standard salts used to increase the density of the aqueous phase?

[@jayprakashpetwal120]

NICE INFORMATION SIR LOTS OF LOVE ❤❤FROM INDIA

[@Itswolfiex]

Thank you so much Sir. This was so helpful!

[@deansky-lucas7880]

So brilliant, thank you.

[@azertaieb442]

So wonderful clove make huppy i love so mutch this smell ...i will make alchol replace of wather to get a clove parfum without any phase ...thank you for this amazing video

[@yewhocktan5112]

Thank you for your sharing.

[@derikfrantz3141]

Thanks for watching!

[@mumbereismail6696]

Good work

[@athithanranganayaki9222]

Thank you very much

[@salmeli5886]

is there any way to complete the last step without a rotovap?

[@94franz]

great video indeed but i'm wondering about a few things. could you elaborate more on how you decide the quantity of magnesium sulfate, sodium bromide etc... that ur adding along the process. i'm sure they come from some calculation. would be great to have some detail about that. also the last phase involves a rotary evaporator which is unfortunately an expensive piece of equipement (a few k$). is there any alternative to using that, even if it takes much longer? (i guess leaving it a large amount of time in open air would make the job but not sure really...). sorry for the somehow naive question but i'm pretty much new to that. cheers

[@johnblacksuperchemist2556]

GREAT VIDEO.....Thanks

[@johnblacksuperchemist2556]

QUESTION...........In pretty much all books they always use an extra RBF to boil the water and use a glass tube to bubble the steam into the next 2nd RBF containing the plant material or whatever. BUT in real life i only see people doing it the way you are. Just adding the water to the clove and distill it out. Is there any real advantage to doing it the more complicated way by bubbling in the steam from a 2nd RBF???????????????????? And if you did it the more complicated way would you need to heat the 2nd RBF that had the clove in it or would the steam bubbling over be all the heat that is needed?????????????? If you do it the more complicated way do you start with the RBF with the clove with no water and water will just condense from the steam being brought in by the other flask?????????? Or do you add a little water to the clove RBF and the steam bubbling in will heat it?????????????

[@metalhead7752]

Hey derik I love cloves thanks for a educational video How do I extract mango fruits oil

[@rm6857]

Wouldnt it help to squeeze all of liquid from cloves and then start with destilation?

[@faheemsiddiqui4662]

Isn't it actually water distillation? Cuz I think in steam.distillation only steam is passed through the clove or substance...pl correct me if im wrong.

[@sanjaykamattarcar5639]

Can we use this for supercritical distilation of ambrette seed to extrate essntial oils,if yes cost pls

[@concertahmad307]

What is the target temperature for oil separation of male frankincense?

[@chancebutler6472]

tyvm

[@MrLogo73]

Why is the neck of your flask so small?

[@jovanastojceska4947]

Thanks for the videos, they're all amazing. Could you please answer me: what will the destilate contain, if we separate methanol and ethyl acetate by destilation under atmospheric pressure? Will we get separate destilates of methanol and ethyl acetate, or maybe a mixture of methanol and ethyl acetate? Thank you once again for the answer

[@derikfrantz3141]

You should be able to separate them, at least reasonably well, by heating at atmospheric pressure using a Vigreaux column. Check out my Simple and Fractional Distillation video if you want more information.

[@amerhamdi5786]

Are there anather org.sol. like benzene or hexane or cylohexane ...et Thank you very much

Please add english subtitles

[@ayeshawadood3635]

Thank you Derik Frantz. it's really a very nice video but i think so the filter paper used for the removal of magnesium sulphate also absorb oil that affects its yield. Do you have any alternative for this?

[@derikfrantz3141]

Hello! The filter paper should not absorb much of the oil product as long as it is rinsed several times with solvent. The low yield is caused by the stoichiometry at the beginning of the reaction

[@ayeshawadood3635]

@@derikfrantz3141 Thank you so much. I've one more question. Can we extract essential oil using Rotary Evaporator. I think so its mechanism is same as of steam distillation. Is it so?

[@jackofnone599]

what type of efficiency is to be expected from the clove eugenol extraction? I imagine that it's not the most efficient because it only approaches the combined steam pressure of the two.

[@jackofnone599]

also thank you for this breakdown of the other materials that this process is applicable to, its very helpful

[@derikfrantz3141]

I think this technique does a good job of removing nearly all of the eugenol from the cloves. But I am not sure what the actual yield of eugenol is (compared to all of the original eugenol in the cloves). Another method using a Soxhlet extractor (with an organic solvent) could work well, but it could extract a variety of other organic compounds in addition to eugenol.

[@typerightseesight]

That whole set up has a ventilation system.. right.

[@derikfrantz3141]

Yeah, it is not a closed system. It is open where the distillate drips out.

[@typerightseesight]

@@derikfrantz3141 I was going to buy a little one but was trying to figure out how to ventilate it. Either the bathroom fan or over a stove but my stove is electric so I don't have a fan over it.

[@pimshaya7209]

Omg look how little able to collect from long process!

[@derikfrantz3141]

Yeah! There's not that much in there, but it only takes a very small amount of eugenol to give a strong clove smell/flavor.

[@mohammedkhaled1319]

What is the principle or theory in this experienc?

[@sebastianmathew6309]

Hi, Good evening Can you introduce a Cardomom oil extraction distillation unit??? If you are not aware kindly let me

[@shellysaquariumcoffeeshop3360]

Is rushing the science for the sake of the video.😮 Start at a low rolling boil and increase when needed.

[@ronaldmartinez1174]

I hate Aerosmith and the chemistry class or community is being disrupted by the terrible music

[@esoteric_teachings]

Hello great video! Where can I get this distillation equipment, what is the brand? Thank you very much.

[@fardows6432]

Amazing demonstration!!!! I am ready to perform this experiment next week thank you sooooooo much
