Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Eucalyptus Citriodora Oil and Comparison with Conventional Hydro Distillation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave-assisted hydro distillation MAHD of eucalyptus citriodora. oil was investigated and a comparison was made with conventional hydro distillation. For MAHD, three process parameters; Microwave power, Extraction time and duration of dryness of sample were selected for the extraction. MAHD resulted in a shorter extraction time and better quality of oil compared to that in conventional hydro distillation. Maximum yield of 1.2% (w/w) was obtained at higher power level and from HD; the yield was 0.91% (w/w) for 3 hours of extraction time. Longer extraction time was resulted in polymerization of oil in MAHD.

Changes in essential oil during ensiling of lemongrass and lemon eucalyptus were studied. Wilted lemongrass and eucalyptus leaves were ensiled in 0.25-L anaerobic jars. Samples consisted of a control (no additives) and a treated sample (0.5% glucose and lactic acid bacteria and 1% cellulase plus 1% hemicellulase plus pectinase). Three jars per treatment were sampled on days 2, 6, 10, and 36 for...
