Text on Aromatic Plants used for making Essential Oils
This is explaining the method of producing the essential oils from the plants. It is done by the time-honoured method of 'la distillation par entraînement à la vapeur d’eau'. Does anyone know the correct term for this in English?

"F-E Dictionary for Chemists" (Patterson) for "entraînement à la vapeur" = "distillation with steam" no other information provided I'm afraid

Note from asker:
| This is an interesting suggestion, but does your dictionary give any indication that this can refer to distilling substances from plants (and not just chemicals)? |
| I was not sure who to give the points to, Jonathan, as you found this, but it was really due to what Robert then added that I could see it was correct. Thank you very much. |
