Pressurized Distillation

Distillation performed under elevated pressure to extract compounds that are difficult to capture at normal atmospheric conditions.

Category

How It Works

Increased pressure raises boiling points and alters the extraction dynamics, enabling capture of compounds that resist standard distillation. Particularly effective for certain tropical botanicals.

Best For

Botanicals with compounds that are difficult to extract at atmospheric pressure, such as pandan

Comparison

The opposite approach to vacuum distillation — uses elevated rather than reduced pressure for stubborn compounds.
