Distillation is the separation of the components of a liquid mixture by partial vaporisation of the mixture and separate recovery of the vapour and residue. The more volatile components of the original mixture are obtained at higher concentration in the vapour, the less volatile in higher concentration in the liquid/solid residue. Distillation enables the separation and purification of volatile food products from aqueous blends. Distillation can be used to separate flavours or essential oils, but is mainly used either for the production of potable alcohol or spirits, or for the industrial production of alcohol from agricultural raw materials (e.g. fruit, grain), which can then be used in alcoholic beverages (liquors). | Distillation is the separation of the components of a liquid mixture by partial vaporisation of the mixture and separate recovery of the vapour and residue.

General information
Distillation is the separation of the components of a liquid mixture by partial vaporisation of the mixture and separate recovery of the vapour and residue. The more volatile components of the original mixture are obtained at higher concentration in the vapour, the less volatile in higher concentration in the liquid/solid residue. Distillation enables the separation and purification of volatile food products from aqueous blends. Distillation can be used to separate flavours or essential oils, but is mainly used either for the production of potable alcohol or spirits, or for the industrial production of alcohol from agricultural raw materials (e.g. fruit, grain), which can then be used in alcoholic beverages (liquors).
