Extraction of citronella oil from lemongrass ( Cymbopogon
The drying aims to reduce water content in the plant to increase extraction yield [3]. The dried plants were cut with a dimension of 1x1 cm and then ground using a grinder (Miyako BL-101PL) with a power of 300 W for one minute. Samples that have been reduced in size will facilitate the oil extraction process with US-MAHD to obtain a high yield
History of Citronella Plant Oil Extraction; The extraction of oil from the Citronella plant dates back to centuries. Originating in southern Asia, the Citronella plant was first distilled in Sri Lanka in the 19th century. The oil quickly gained popularity for its insect-repelling properties and was used in soaps and candles.
Extraction and characterization of essential oil components
Citronella oil is the main product of Java citronella grass (Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt) rich in geraniol and citronellol, widely used in mosquito repellents and perfumeries. The age of the plant plays a key role in oil composition and its yield such that young leaves have lesser oil content than the mature leaves. Also, a remarkable difference between fresh and dried leaves regarding oil
The lemongrass oil can be produced from fresh or dried plant material using various methods of extraction including pressurised liquid extraction using hexane [1], hydrodistillation [4] [5][6
Citronella plant essential oil: how to make it and how to use it
The process involved involves steeping the parts of the plant in hot water and then using tools like steam or cold-pressed techniques to extract the oil. The resulting product will be anything from a yellow or orangey liquid with a sweet smell that serves as an amazing insect repellent.
It can also be found growing wild in most tropical Asian countries, Central America, and Africa. Recently, this plant has been planted commercially by entrepreneurs for essential oil extraction (Abdul Rahman Azmil et al. 2005). Citronella oil is considered one of the 20 most important essential oils that are traded globally (Lawrence 1993).
Optimization and Kinetics of Essential Oil Extraction from
study of a few plants oil extraction such as clove and lemon myrtle indicated that ohmic heated hydro distillation could be proposed as an improved method for essential oil‟s plant extraction as it had increased extracted oil [16]. The objectives of this study were to investigate the parameters
In this review, old traditional methods, well-known and widely practiced conventional methods, and new, innovative methods of seed oil extraction are brought to focus and compared in terms of oil
Extraction Methods of Oils and Phytochemicals from Seeds
Over recent years, the food industry has striven to reduce waste, mostly because of rising awareness of the detrimental environmental impacts of food waste. While the edible oils market (mostly represented by soybean oil) is forecasted to reach 632 million tons by 2022, there is increasing interest to produce non-soybean, plant-based oils including, but not limited to, coconut, flaxseed and
The quality of citronella oil from Cikadu may also be influenced by different plant varieties and other supporting factors such as environmental conditions and cultivation techniques.
- How is the oil extraction of Forsythia suspense seeds improved?
- The oil extraction of Forsythia suspense seeds was improved using a cocktail of cellulase, pectinase, and proteinase. This resulted in an increase from 7% to 17% for AEP, attributed to more components within the seed cell walls being degraded.
- What are the different methods of oil extraction of walnuts?
- Market development efforts have intensified; as a result, walnuts are being used more in snacking, baking, and processed foods. The common methods of oil extraction may include the chemical (using a solvent) and mechanical extraction of oil from oilseeds [ 13 ]. The two categories of mechanical techniques are hot press and cold press.
- How can peanut seed extract be destabilized?
- Peanut seed extract can be destabilized using alkaline protease, achieving a 65% free oil yield. This is a significant increase compared to the control, which had less than a 5% free oil yield.
- What are the oil extraction yields for camelina seeds?
- For camelina seeds, the oil extraction yield ranged from 9¨C16% for both hexane and ethyl acetate solvents. Similar oil extraction yields were obtained during the extraction of canola seeds with hexane (21¨C36%) and ethyl acetate (25 to 40%).
- How to improve oil extraction from seeds?
- One method to improve oil extraction from seeds is to perform extrusion. This process involves modifying the shape and properties of the seeds using screw configuration, which can also be used in applications like expanded snacks or obtaining liquid extracts from plant material.
- How does the extraction process affect the quality of walnut oil?
- The method used for extraction has a significant impact on the quantity and quality of lipids and other important components. It is critical to select a suitable extraction process for the compounds of interest. Scaling walnut oil into commercial production requires proper extraction technologies.
