Spanish term or phrase: Destilación por arrastre de vapor
Estoy traduciendo el título de un proyecto de fin de grado y no estoy del todo conforme con mi versión. El original es "Destilación por arrastre de vapor para la obtención de aceites esenciales de plantas silvestres" y mi intento: "Steam Stripping to Obtain Essential Oils from Wild Plants", aunque tengo la duda de si el término correcto es "Steam stripping" o "Steam distillation". ¿Qué os parece? ¿Alguna idea? ¡Mil gracias!

Explanation:
Straight steam distillation (method) to obtain essential oils from wild flowers

What is Straight Steam Distillation Method?

Distilling essential oils using the straight steam method involves pushing steam through the plant material and then picking up the essential oil. Lavender essential oil is distilled in this manner!

The third method is straight steam distillation and is much the way it sounds. Steam is pushed through the selected plant, collected, re-liquefied and separated to leave water and essential oil. Lavender essential oil is straight steam distilled.

Steam distillation can take three forms. The first uses just water where the plant material is placed in boiling water. The rising steam and oils are then captured and then separated. Clove oil is distilled this way.

There is also a combination water/steam method where boiling water and steam are pushed through and around the plant matter. This is how nutmeg essential oil is distilled.

The final method is straight steam, where steam is pushed through the plant material, picking up the essential oils. Lavender is distilled in this way.
