Dilidili. <br/><br/>	The study, "Development and Evaluation of a Vacuum Assisted Essential Oil Extractor" was conducted at Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from February to March 1999 to determine the effectiveness of & vacuum-assisted distillation process in extracting essential oil. The machine was composed of the following parts: tank still, vacuum pump, water pump, oil receiver and gas stove. Results showed that the principle of operation of the whole machine works but it was not able to extract oil from the mango leaves used during the evaluation of the machine. The oil did not separate from the water. The cost of the constructed vacuum oil extractor amounted to P15,237.00. assisted essential.<br/>
