Rose oil is extracted from rose leaves using ____________ distillation?

Correct answer: D. Steam

  • A. High pressure
  • B. Low pressure
  • C. Extractive
  • D. Steam

Explanation

Rose oil is volatile and heat-sensitive, so it is recovered by steam distillation at a temperature lower than its normal boiling point. Steam carries the oil vapour over without requiring high-temperature boiling of the oil itself.
