Hi folks
***Swim is trying to UTFSE and is having a difficult time coming across media references of distilling certain essential oils..***

Elemicin can be distilled from essential oils like elemi oil and nutmeg oil using vacuum distillation at reduced pressure. Elemicin is typically collected during the distillation process between specific temperature ranges at a set pressure, according to Wikipedia. For example, it was first isolated from elemi oil at 162-165 °C at 10 torr. In nutmeg oil, the distillation process is also conducted under reduced pressure to prevent myristicin decomposition, according to a study in the Journal of Young Pharmacists.
BOILING POINTS OF THE ALLYLBENZENE:
These allylbenzene oils have a higher boiling point ~200C -250C AND PHENYLACETONES TOO
The boiling point of safrole is approximately 232-234 °C (450-453 °F).
Elemicin Boiling Point. 279.8°C at 760 mmHg
Elemicin Boiling Point: 152.00 to 156.00 °C. @ 17.00 mm Hg ;
Elemicin Boiling Point: 144.00 to 147.00 °C. @ 10.00 mm Hg
Myristicin a boiling point of 276.5ºC
Asarone Boiling Point. 296 °C @ 760 MM HG
The boiling point of apiole is 294 °C (561 °F)
Dillapiole DILLAPIOLE 484-31-1 ; Boiling Point283°C at 760 mmHg
SOURCES:
Safrole- Safrole can be obtained through natural extraction from Sassafras albidum and Ocotea cymbarum. Sassafras oil for example is obtained by steam distillation of the root bark of the sassafras tree. The resulting steam distilled product contains about 90% safrole by weight. **See a cinnamon tree in southeast Asia**
Elemicin- Elemicin is a naturally occurring alkenylbenzene primarily found in the essential oils of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) and elemi (Canarium luzonicum) high amount
Myristicin- Myristicin is a chemical compound found in nutmeg, particularly in the aromatic fraction of its essential oil. Low amount ~10% myristicin in nutmeg oil
Asarone is in a plant Calamus sweet flag in high amounts
Apiole - Apiole, also known as parsley oil, is primarily found in the essential oils of parsley, celery, and dill ~10 -50%
Dill apiole - Dillapiole is a natural compound primarily found in the essential oil of dill (Anethum graveolens) and fennel. ~10-60%
