  • How much essential oil can be extracted from Colombia orange peels?
  • Blanco et al. (1995) obtained maximum essential oil yield of 0.79% for Colombia orange peels using gas chromatography method. Ezejiofor et al. (2011) reported maximum essential oil yield of 0.6% using steam distillation method. Pultrini et al. (2006) achieved maximum essential oil yield of 0.5% using cold pressed extraction method.
  • How can orange oil be extracted?
  • Orange oil can be extracted by several methods, including steam distillation and solvent extraction. These conventional methods are simple and robust, but the yield percentage is relatively low. Other methods like super critical CO2 extraction and turbo distillation have also been employed, but they are not as cost-effective.
  • What are some novel methods to extract orange oil?
  • Orange oil can be extracted by various conventional methods like steam distillation, solvent extraction. Novel methods like super critical CO2 extraction, turbo distillation also has been employed. The conventional methods though simple are robust and the yield percentage is less whereas the novel methods are not cost effective.
  • Can orange peel be used for essential oil extraction?
  • The orange peel, which is considered as a waste, can be used for the extraction of essential oil. This oil has many applications, ranging from food flavoring agent to cosmetics. Orange oil can be extracted by various conventional methods like steam distillation and solvent extraction.
  • Do processing parameters affect essential oil and pectin extraction from orange peels?
  • The effects of processing parameters on essential oil and pectin extractions from orange peels were investigated using response surface approach; 2?×?5 and 3?×?5 central composite rotatable designs were adopted for the essential oil and pectin extractions, respectively.
  • How much essential oil can be extracted from Valencia orange peels?
  • Bustamante et al. (2016) obtained maximum essential oil yield of 2.3% for Valencia late orange peels using microwave-assisted hydro-distillation method. Giwa et al. (2018) achieved maximum essential oil yields of 4.40, 3.47, and 2.54% using steam distillation, water distillation, and solvent extraction methods, respectively.
