  • How to extract oil from lemongrass?
  • The yield of oil through solvent and soxhlet extraction methods was 4.5% and 3.8%, respectively. Similarly, Shetty, Shetty and Bagade, (2017) used three methods for oil extraction from lemongrass viz., solvent extraction, hydro distillation and enfleurage.
  • Can green technology be used to extract lemongrass oil?
  • However, for extraction of lemongrass oil, green technology such SFE, SDE, SFME and MAHD that are consumer and environmental friendly in industrial-scale essential oil production should be considered as a method to overcome the limitations of traditional distillation methods.
  • Which parameters affect the extraction of lemongrass oil process by Mahd method?
  • In this research, we investigated the parameters that affect the extraction of lemongrass oil process by MAHD method and compare with those of hydro-distillation (HD) method. Four parameters were identified which are: raw material size, raw material to water ratio, extraction time and microwave power.
  • How long does it take to extract essential oil from lemongrass?
  • The research investigated the influence of different parameters on the essential oil yield, thus determined an effective extraction regimen with a lemongrass-to-solvent ratio of 1:0.75, an extraction time of 75 min, temperature of 80 °C, and ultrasonic power set at 30 W, resulting in an essential oil yield of 0.942%.
  • How to optimize the extraction parameters for lemongrass essential oil?
  • The model can be used to optimize the extraction parameters for lemongrass essential oil. For example, the model can be used to determine the optimal combination of grinding time, ultrasonication time, microwave power, and mixing ratio to achieve the highest possible yield.
  • Can lemon grass be extracted from methanol?
  • The extracts of lemon grass, obtained through both soxhlet extraction and solvent extraction, were employed in creating perfumes with methanol (CH 3 OH) and ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) as solvent media. The yield of oil through solvent and soxhlet extraction methods was 4.5% and 3.8%, respectively.
