The present work aims to perform an experimental study of the essential oil extraction, for this reason experimental tests are performed, then the data is analyzed and present a set of mathematical equations using thermodynamics, mass transfer and heat transfer, allowing us to determine a mathematical model describing the extraction process molle essential oil by steam distillation of water. By histological analysis performed at the fruit of the pepper tree was determined that the oil is stored in secretory cavities of the shell, confirming our hypothesis that there is an essential oil fraction in free state located between the mesocarp and endocarp and to be hulled without breaking seed, oil is released and is entrained by the water vapor obtained in a yield of 55 ml of oíl / kg molle which is extracted in a relatively small time interval between 6 to 1O minutes, this fraction represents about 84% of the total weight of the oíl contained in the fruit, this stage is controlled by flash evaporation. In the interior of the seed (intraparticle state) there is another smaller fraction of oil in a yield of 10.5 ml of oíl / kg molle (16% total weight of oíl) is removed in a very long operating time comprised 80 to 100 minutes, this stage is govemed possibly by diffusion model oíl and must penetrate the cell wall of the seed. The other objective of this work is to perform the mathematical modeling of free oíl extraction (first stage) by stripping with steam, because this stage has the largest amount of oil and is obtained in a very small time period, also from the industrial point of view this is the most productive stage. The second stage (intraparticle oil) is less important because of its low yield and requires longer operating time compared to the first stage. The primary endpoint process is the volume of oil extracted, the extraction process parameters considered in this study were: steam flow ranges from 1.93 to 4.0 kg I h., The weight of the molle fruit ranges from 1.0 to 4.0 kg, the bed density ranges from 0.38 to 0.48 grams of fruit molle / ml still. To raise the mathematical modeling is necessary to know the chemical composition of essential oil molle, it is determined by analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC / MS). In the graphs of experimental tests the first stage of the curve (volume of extracted oil-time) has a linear trend (free oíl), which corresponds to a constant extraction rate.
