The market is divided into various categories based on the processes used to extract essential oils, including distillation, cold pressing, carbon dioxide extraction, solvent extraction, and other extraction methods (such as resin tapping and maceration). In Argentina, the most commonly used method for the extraction of essential oils is distillation. Distillation is a tried-and-true technique that has been employed for centuries to extract essential oils from various plant materials, including herbs, flowers, and citrus fruits. In recent years, there has also been a growing interest in cold-press extraction techniques, particularly for citrus essential oils. Cold-pressing involves mechanical pressure to extract oils from the peel of fruits like oranges and lemons.
