(organic oil) extraction. It works on the substance that are volatile and water insoluble. Because the clove oil have boiling point of 2540 C, this method becomes fundamental and necessary for the clove oil extraction as it reduces the boiling point of the clove oil to below 1000 C (Harding, 2008). In the presence of steam, the boiling point temperature of the clove oil reduces to 980C which is volatilized. The vapor mixture made up water and oil is passed through the condenser which cools the vapor that
