This work aimed to extract perfume from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus using three extraction methods viz: distillation, solvent and expression or effleurage. About 150 g dried lemons grass were extracted ethanol as obtain essential oils required for formulation perfumes. The result hydrodistillation process showed that 1.23 oil per 130g dry lemongrass produce 0.95% at 78 °C, while effleurag...

Study Design and Objectives: Sugar cane production is threatened by the devastating action of larval populations Eldana saccharina Walker. Faced with this situation, search for sustainable control solutions a major challenge sugar producers. This study contributes to pest through use formulations based on essential oils local aromatic plants.
 Methodology: Bioassays survival larvae were th...

The usefulness of pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to evaluate the identity and reproducibility of different brands and batches of commercially available samples of Cymbopogon citratus Stapf (sold as tea) was investigated. Samples of the vegetable material were extracted using hexane and the extract was pyrolysed at 450 oC using a vertical microfurnace pyroly...

Essential oils (EOs) from Cymbopogon citratus (CC), Eucalyptus citriodora (EC), Eucalyptus camaldulensis (ED), and Citrus sinensis (CS) were obtained by hydrodistillation process. The EOs were evaluated in vitro for activity against Trypanosoma brucei brucei (Tbb) and Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi). The EOs were found to possess antitrypanosomal activity in vitro in a dose-dependent pattern in ...

Lemongrass oil (Cymbopogon citratus) is an effective repellent against mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and house flies (Diptera: Muscidae). In this study, its effectiveness was assessed on stable flies (Diptera: Muscidae) in laboratory conditions. First, we demonstrated that lemongrass oil is an active substance for antennal olfactory receptor cells of Stomoxys calcitrans as indicated by a sign...

In Cameroon, tomato yields remain low due to attacks by pathogens and insects. Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL) is a fungus responsible for wilt, disease important economic losses. To contribute the control of this pathogen, stimulatory effect defence system extracts plants in tomato/FOL interaction was evaluated. Tomato were treated with aqueous (AE) Callistemon ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Proper disinfection of impression is probably the most important procedure for dental lab to render it safe further handling without affecting accuracy fine details. In light these intermingling facts, author aimed 1) investigate antimicrobial effect Cymbopogon citratus on selected microorganism colony and 2) disinfectant solution dimensional resultant gypsum casts. MATERIAL...

<p>Lemongrass (<em>Cymbopogon citratus</em> Stapf) is a potential plant producing lemongrass oil and citral, widely used for food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical industries, traditional medicinal ingredients. Organic cultivation expected to provide healthy food The study aimed determine the production quality of several clones applied with an organic fertilizer at Sukamulya research...
