OILS
Essential oils are obtained by puncturing the lemon peel, a process that is carried out in a water tank, in order to prevent oil losses into the atmosphere. The oil and water form an emulsion which is then broken as water is separated from it through a process of centrifugation and filtration. After that, all insoluble compounds, referred to as “wax,” are extracted by sedimentation in cold storage. Later, after another round of filtering, refined “cold-press” oil is obtained.
