This book looks into the modern world of essential oils’ extraction by blending fuzzy logic, intelligent controllers, and real-time process monitoring, which is smarter, greener, and more sustainable in comparison of the traditional methods. The book shows how intelligent PID and fuzzy controllers optimize the distillation processes, increasing oil yield and purity while reducing trial-and-error. This goes beyond theory with live demonstrations of intelligent controllers in essential oil extraction, giving readers practical tools they can apply immediately. It also features a full real-world example on kaffir lime essential oil, including GC-MS analysis, so readers can follow a step-by-step model from raw material to final product. This book merges modern control engineering with the world of essential oils, offering a unique perspective for both engineers and natural product researchers.
