Abstract: The study was carried out with optimizing mathematic kinetics models for the relationship between the yield and the extraction time during the extraction process of volatile oil from honeycomb. The kinetics models are: ln(0.2768-Dt) =-0.1947t-1.2934(R=0.9997) and ln(⊿Dt/⊿t)=-0.1904tc-2.9325(R=0.9936). The kinetics models are useful for directing and controlling the production process of the high extraction of the volatile oil from honeycomb.
