Recently, increasing attention has been directed to the isolation of natural active components from various medicinal plants. In the present research, the extraction of essential oil from horehound (M. vulgare L.) is presented. Effects of mass ratio and particle size on the process performance were studied and kinetics were determined. The chemical composition of the volatiles present in M. vulgare L. was evaluated for the sample extracted in the optimum conditions (mass ratio, 3 kg/m3 and particle size,0.1
