COMPARISON OF LAURUS NOBILIS EXTRACTS COMPOSITION OBTAINED BY MICROWAVE EXTRACTION, SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION AND STEAM DISTILLATION

Laurel Extracts Obtained by Steam Distillation, Supercritical Fluid and Solvent Extraction

The chemical composition of laurel leaves and fruits essential oils (content of 0.917 and 0.747%, respectively) and laurel leaves extracts obtained at different pressures/temperatures by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) were studied by GC-MS. The predominant compound in the essential oils and in CO2 extracts obtained at pressures/temperatures of 100 bar/40°C and 250 bar/40°C was 1,8-cineole...

Comparison Extraction Methods of Essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis L. in Iran By Microwave Assisted Water Distillation; Water Distillation and Steam Distillation

Rosmarinus officinalis L. is a perennial herb that belongs to the Lamiaceae family. It is used as a food flavouring agent, and well known medicinally for its powerful antimutagenic, antibacterial and chemopreventive properties. The most applicable method for extraction of essential oil is water distillation (WD) and steam distillation (SD). It is a traditional technique which is used in most in...

Extraction and separation of volatile and fixed oils from berries of Laurus nobilis L. by Supercritical CO2.

Isolation of volatile and fixed oils from dried berries of Laurus nobilis L. from Tunisia have been obtained by supercritical fractioned extraction with carbon dioxide. Extraction experiments were carried out at a temperature of 40 degrees C and pressures of 90 and 250 bar. The extraction step performed at 90 bar produced a volatile fraction mainly composed of (E)-beta-ocimene (20.9%), 1,8-cine...

Supercritical Fluid Extraction+supercritical Fluid Chromatography

high pressures also requires special equipment. In summary, both RESS crystallization and SAS crystallization appear to be promising methods for generating supersaturation and therefore represent alternatives to conventional crystallization. Such alternatives may prove attractive in applications such as polymer and pharmaceutical processing, or in particle design for drug delivery. It is possib...
