Steam distillation is commonly used for extracting turmeric oil from the rhizomes (roots) of the turmeric plant. The rhizomes are chopped or crushed and then subjected to steam distillation. The steam carries the volatile compounds of the turmeric, which are then condensed and separated to obtain the essential oil.
