Extraction of rose petals using the differing techniques of solvent extraction (hexane), steam distillation and high pressure CO2were performed. Extract profiles are presented demonstrating the relative extraction efficiencies of the processes with respect to fragrant and non-fragrant regions. A product richer in relevant fragrance components is produced by C02 extraction.
