Sandalwood and its oil, is one of the oldest known perfume materials and has a long history (more than 4000 years) of use as mentioned in Sanskrit manuscripts. Sandalwood oil plays an important role as an export commodity in many countries and its widely used in the food, perfumery and pharmaceuticals industries. The aim of this study is to know and verify the kinetics and mechanism of microwav...

as traditional extraction methods like hydrodistillation (hd) and steamdistillation (sd) have long extraction times, some novel extraction methods like microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) and ohmic-assisted hydrodistillation (oahd) are recently introduced. in this study, essential oils of mentha piperita were extracted by oahd and mahd and the results were compared with those of the sd ...

Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) is an advanced hydrodistillation (HD) technique, in which a microwave oven is used in the extraction process. MAHD and HD methods have been compared and evaluated for their effectiveness in the isolation of essential oils from fresh mango (Mangifera indica L.) flowers. MAHD offers important advantages over HD in terms of energy savings and extraction ...

Kinetic modeling and optimization of musk willow (Salix aegyptiaca L.) essential oil extraction process using ultrasound assisted hydrodistillation

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...
