Distillation is a process of separating the component or substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation.

Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components of the mixture.

In either case the process exploits differences in the volatility of the mixture's components.

In industrial chemistry, distillation is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but it is a physical separation process and not a chemical reaction.

The term "harvesting" in general usage may include immediate postharvest handling, including cleaning, sorting, packing, and cooling.
