Citrus nobilis L. peel was used as a source of essential oil production through water-stem distillation method. The aim of this research was to compare yield and quality of essential oil from Citrus nobilis L. peel obtained from ratio of 0,2; 0,4 and 0,6 of raw material mass and solvent volume during water-stem distillation. In each run, 1000 mL of water was applied as solvent, and the distillation was performed for 6 hours.. Results show that the best yield and quality of the produced essential oil was obtained on 400 gram/1000 mL ratio. This ratio produced essential oil in a yield of 2.18 %, 0.8484 gram/ mL density, yellowish oil with orange typical aroma, and viscous. GC-MS analysis results of the oil show the composition of Limonene 56,96%, α-Pinene 3,86%, β-Phellandrene 1,02%, β-Pinene 2,40%, β-Myrcene 2,76%, Linalool 7,69%, 3-Cyclohexene-1-methanol 2,04%, Nerol 1,44% and Benzenedicarboxylic acid 14,50%.

ABSTRACT The growing of Piper aduncum for essential oil extraction has increased, but there is a lack of basic information about its management and cultivation, which allows the productivity and quality of the oil, in order to attend the market demands. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between the production of essential oils from P. aduncum and soil water pressure heads (20 kPa, 40 kPa, 60 kPa, 100 kPa and non-irrigated). The assessment comprised the quantification of idioblasts and the production of essential oil extracted from leaves of cultivated plants. The variation in the soil water pressure head alters the amount of idioblasts in P. aduncum leaves, with impacts on the essential oil production. A soil water pressure head range of 20-60 kPa is sufficient for this species to express the highest amount of idioblasts and the highest level of essential oil production. The species adapts itself to different water availability conditions in the soil. Under stress conditions, due to water deficit or excess, the production of essential oil is reduced.

Aniba canelilla (H.B.K.) Mez. is a tree species from Amazon that produces essential oil. The oil extraction from its leaves and stems can be an alternative way to avoid the tree cutting for production of essential oil. The aim of this study was to analyse factors that may influence the essential oil production and the biomass of resprouts after pruning the leaves and stems of A. canelilla trees. The tree crowns were pruned in the wet season and after nine months the leaves and stems of the remaining crown and the resprouts were collected, in the dry season. The results showed that the essential oil yield and chemical composition differed among the stems, leaves and resprouts. The stems' essential oil production differed between the seasons and had a higher production in the resprouting stems than the old stems of the remaining crown. The production of essential oil and leaf biomass of resprouts were differently related to the canopy openness, indicating that light increases the production of the essential oil and decreases the biomass of resprouting leaves. This study revealed that plant organs differ in their essential oil production and that the canopy openness must be taken into account when pruning the A. canelilla tree crown in order to achieve higher oil productivity.
