The Pyongyang Essential Oil Factory produces edible, industrial and natural aromatic substances with different kinds of essential oils extracted from flowers, leaves, roots and fruits of plants growing in mountains and fields of the country.
The essential oil research centre of the factory develops several kinds of aromatic substances needed for the production of soaps, cosmetics and foodstuffs using over ten kinds of natural essential oils as main materials.
It is directing research efforts to developing aromatic substances for seasoning, sweets and cigarettes by using chicken by-products, shrimps, licorice and onions, while extracting essential oil from dwarf Siberian pine, wormwood and mint.
The factory is also making aromatic substances for drinks and sweets from extracts of strawberry, apricot, pear, peach and other fruits.
Researchers have improved existing extracting methods according to the characteristics of aromatic materials, while introducing into production the technologies for raising the quality of natural essential oils.
The factory’s aromatic essences, especially those made from pine, wormwood, mint and lemon, are enjoying ever-growing demands.
Last year, the factory supplied over ten kinds of essential oils to regional-industry factories, contributing to putting their production on a normal footing.
The products of the factory were highly appreciated at the light industrial goods exhibition “Development of Light Industry-2023” and the 37th National Sci-Tech Festival held in 2024.
Based on such experience, it is trying to develop new essential oils that suit the likings and aesthetic tastes of the people.
