MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY USE FOR CONIFEROUS ESSENTIAL OILS EXTRACTION
The opportunity to use microwave technology for the essential oils extraction from coniferous wood greenery, providing their output increase by 15-20 % is shown in the article. It is established that its application reduces oil separation duration in 4-5 times, structure, organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of which are practically identical with hydrodistillation. It is supposed that the technology perfection, subject to the received results should increase production efficiency essentially
