Thorough understanding of kinetics plays a key role in improving existing industrial processes. In this study, we attempted to model the hydro-distillation process that produces essential oil from peels pomelo (Citrus grandis L.) fruit, which is product with high economic value and wide range applications. We first determined optimal water-to-material ratio for attaining maximal yield. Then, fu...

volatile components of three parts of pimpinella tragium vill. (umbelliferae family) from iran were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively for the first time. essential oils were isolated by hydro-distillation from stems plus leaves, inflorescence and seeds of p. tragium individually. the plant materials were collected from polour (northeast of tehran province). the yields of the stems p...

a comparative study of ultrasound-assisted extraction (uae) and hydro-distillation was performed for fast extraction of estragole from tarragon (artemisia dracunculus l.) dried leaves. several influential parameters of the uae procedure in the extraction of estragole (type of solvent, extraction cycles, solvent to material ratio, irradiation time and particle size) were investigated and optimiz...

The objective of this study was to extract, characterize, and examine the antibacterial properties orange essential oil obtained from citrus sinensis peels, using hydro-distillation method. Various components were characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis GC- MS spectroscopic techniques. extracted conformed AFNOR standards, had a maximum yield 3.4% (w/w). results showed that limonene major bioactive (97.14...

The cell walls of plants are made up cellulose as the major composite and hydrolysis this polysaccharide has proven to be a step in extraction many biomolecules. This research was on both pure partially purified endo-1,4-D-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4 (cellulase) assisted essential oil from seed kernels Nutmeg by using two-step protocol that involved pretreatment sample with cellulase followed ...
