 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 3 Extracted by steam distillation than 50 mesh 325 mesh sieve and over-temperature and compare the yield of essential oil from Curcuma [Abstract] Objective To investigate and compare the steam distillation temperature Curcuma meal and micro-nano-powders volatile oil from the optimum. Methods warm Curcuma meal made from over 50 mesh 325 mesh powder and over-use of L18 (21 * 37) Table of the orthogonal experimental design, in order to warm Volatile oil Curcuma oil extraction rate of the indexes in order to crush degrees, distillation time, water quality and ratio and soaking time for process inspection object. Results The volatile oil of Curcuma temperature oil extraction rate of the indexes from the intuitive analysis shows that the impact of various factors on the extraction distillation time of the order of the role of amp;quot;medicinal finenessamp;quot; water quality and in multiples of amp;quot;soak time. Analysis of variance results showed that: In this process, medicine crushing degrees, distilling and processing time, water quality, oil extraction rate of multiple pairs of highly significant effect, while the soaking time on the oil extraction rate was not significant. Over 50 mesh sieve oil extraction rate was 1.25% ~ 1.90%, over 325 mesh sieve oil extraction rate was 1.02% ~ 1.65%; to over 50 mesh sieve temperature Zedoary flour, plus 8 times the water, distillation process 12 h line, Ezhu the highest yield of volatile oil. Conclusion steam distillation of the volatile Curcuma oil, Curcuma do not have to micro-nano technology, as long as the meal can be. The soaking time, due to its volatile oil extraction had no significant effect, so in determining the extraction process can be not be considered. This method is the optimum as follows: over 50 mesh sieve temperature Zedoary flour, plus 8 times the amount of water, distilled 12 h.
