Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
Palmarosa is an herb with long flat leaves that can reach up to three meters high and contains the essential oil of the plant. The propagation of a crop is made by a regular sowing of the seeds. The cultivation of the plant must be done on a very well drained soil.
The harvest begins just after flowering, after a few months of cultivation. Native tribes take care of the harvest from March to November. After the harvest, the leaves are dried in the sun for a week to improve the extraction yield: drying them allows to concentrate the volatile molecules, without degrading or modifying the smell of the plant. The extraction is done by steam distillation, under high pressure of water and the essential oil is collected by decantation, in the receptacle at the outlet of the refrigerant.
The yield of the extraction of the plant varies between 0.5 and 1.2%.
The essential oil of palmarosa is often used for the extraction of natural geraniol.

Other comments :
India is the largest palmarosa farmer, particularly in the southern Himalayan regions and at the Afghan border.
Palmarosa essential oil is widely used for the purpose of extracting natural Geraniol. Its level of Geraniol depends on the quality of the phosphate removal of the Geranyl Phosphate present in the plant and the rate of conversion of Geraniol to Geranyl Acetate and Geranial during the processes that take place.
Besides its citral and green smell, the palmarosa gets its name from its particular pinkish smell.
