Davana Oil Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a davana oil production plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for davana oil production, including the cost of davana oil production, davana oil plant cost, davana oil production costs, and the overall davana oil production plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a davana oil production plant. These encompass production processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Davana oil is an essential oil distilled from the flowers and leaves of Artemisia pallens. It is a small aromatic herb native to southern India, and has a complex, sweet floral, fruity balsamic aroma. It is used in perfumery and flavours like oriental, chypre, and gourmand fragrances. It is utilised in artisanal perfumes where its unique note add depth. It is used in aromatherapy and wellness for stress relief and meditation support, and is also used in diffusers or aromatic baths to create a calming, uplifting atmosphere. It finds its application in traditional Ayurvedic and cosmetic applications and is valued for its antimicrobial, antiseptic, and vulnerary properties. It is added to skin care preparations to help with dry skin, acne, minor infections, and wound healing.

The market for davana oil is driven by growing demand for natural and premium fragrances. The expanding use in niche and luxury perfumery, and rising interest in its antimicrobial, antifungal, and mood balancing properties boost its market. The preference for natural and organic ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, as well as the global growth of niche fragrance brands seeking unique olfactory notes. The industrial davana oil procurement is affected by geographically concentrated cultivation of Artemisia pallens. The monsoon dependent farming and labour-intensive harvests that cause wide price volatility and periodic shortages impact its sourcing. Other factors like climate risk, storage and shelf life challenges, and tightening regulatory and sustainability requirements further affect its sourcing and supply chain strategies.

Raw Material for Davana Oil Production

According to the davana oil production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of davana oil include davana flowers and leaves.

Production Process of Davana Oil

The extensive davana oil production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

1. From davana flowers and leaves: The production process of davana oil starts with the selection and preparation of freshly harvested flowers and leaves from Artemisia pallens. These are cleaned and loaded into a specialised distillation chamber. After that, steam is introduced under controlled conditions to break down the oil-bearing glands, releasing key aromatic compounds such as davanone, linalool, and farnesol. The resulting steam-oil vapour mixture is condensed, and the essential oil is separated and purified to get davana oil.

Davana oil is a brownish-yellow to brown viscous liquid with a sweet, herbaceous, fruity, and slightly woody aroma. It has a refractive index of 1.479–1.501 at 20 degree Celsius with a specific gravity of 0.917–0.957. It has an optical rotation between -28 degree and +28 degree. It has a flash point of around 93 degree Celsius. It contains 40-65% davanone, davana ether (5-15%), davanafuran, linalool (3-10%), trans-ethyl cinnamate, bicyclogermacrene, nerol, geraniol, and traces of farnesol and β-eudesmol. It is soluble in fixed oils and alcohol but insoluble in water, with good stability in pH 4.5–7.5 for perfumery and aromatherapy applications.
