Steam distillation 

is carried out by passing dry steam through the

plant material whereby the steam volatile compounds are
volatilized, condensed and collected in receivers. Steam distillation
has been in use for essential oil extraction for many
years. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B97808570

Bergamot oil can be obtained from lemon peel by the cold-
pressed or distillation method. The cold-pressed bergamot oil is a
green or yellow-green liquid, whereas the distilled bergamot oil is a
pale yellow liquid. The aroma of top bergamot oil is similar to that of
lemon, which is followed by an orange blossom scent with a unique
aroma because it contains high levels of linalool and linalyl acetate.
Bergamot oil is an important natural spice, which is widely used in
various fragrances, especially perfumes, cologne, and toilet water.

Steam distillation is a separation technique that harnesses the low boiling point property of
immiscible mixtures. It is predominately used to separate temperature-sensitive organic molecules
from a non-volatile contaminant. The organic molecule must be immiscible in water.
