Hi All,

I have two questions regarding lemongrass oil.

Does anyone know of a company/persons which/who produce lemongrass oil here in Thailand? Preferably close to BKK would be ideal but it really doesn't matter all that much.

Does anyone know how lemongrass oil is produced? From what I have read on the net there seems to be two main methods and cold/warm press is not one of them regardless of how many chinese firms would sell you a press.

1. Steam distillation appears to be one method although from what I have seen these are pretty large contraptions, way too big for our needs.

2. Extraction by enzymatic reaction followed by solvent extraction. For this method I can't seem to find any definitive information. And I would have thought it was too complicated and expensive although this method is supposed to extract twice as much oil as distillation.

There are a couple of videos on youtube which might be enzymatic reaction but no real details are given.

TIA
