Pogostemon cablin Benth. var ‘Sidikalang’ leaves are the main source of patchouli oil which is used in cosmetics and perfume industry because its better fixative nature provides foreign exchange around 60 % Indonesia’s essential export revenues largest supplier world with a contribution 90 %. But apparently, several studies found that also has pharmacological activity such as aromatherapy, anti...

In this study, different unit operations for distillation, extraction, capturing and separation of essential oil components from plants are evaluated, on the example limonene carvone caraway fruits. Hydrodistillation is standard process obtaining oils leaves distillation water (hydrolate) after phase distilled plant material (pomace) as waste streams. a valorization these streams, using techniq...

Studies had shown that oxygenated compounds are important in food products. It seems that extraction methods had a profound influence on this factor. The goal of the present study is to investigate on flavor components of Murcott mandarin obtained using cold-press and hydro distillation. In the last week of January 2012, at least 50 mature fruit were collected from many parts of the same trees....

Abstract Secondary metabolites of oil palm have various potentials. Research on the secondary metabolite palms inflorescences very limited. The purpose this research is to compare extraction method between maceration and steam distillation female inflorescence’s volatile organic compounds (VOCs). used ethanolic for 5 × 24 hours, then concentrated with a rotary evaporator. Steam was carried out ...

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...

Currently, there is a growing interest in the study of natural products, especially as part of drug discovery programs. Secondary metabolites can be extracted from a variety of natural sources, including plants, microbes, marine animals, insects, and amphibia. This chapter focuses principally on laboratory-scale processes of initial and bulk extraction of natural products from plant and microbi...

An efficient microwave-assisted simultaneous distillation and extraction (MA-SDE) method has been developed for the separation of polysaccharides and essential oil from Taxus chinensis var. mairei. The key operating parameters for MA-SDE were optimized by single factor and central composite design experiments, and the optimal conditions were found to include a particle size of 60–80 mesh, liqui...
