Abstract:
1. A method for producing a gas flow containing an essential oil vapour or a vapour of one or more terpenoid compounds contained in the essential oil, comprising the following steps: creation of a pressurised gas flow with a controlled flow-rate and a given temperature; and injection into the pressurised gas flow of a liquid composition comprising at least one liquid essential oil, at a dosed flow rate; the gas flow, following injection, having a partial essential oil vapour pressure, whereby the flow rate of the gas flow and the flow rate of the liquid composition are chosen such that the partial essential oil vapour pressure of the gas flow, following injection, is controlled to be at least 20% below the saturation pressure of the essential oil vapour at the temperature of the gas flow.
