Extraction of essential oil from Algerian rosemary leaves is carried out by means of a hydro-distillation process. The important operating parameters such as extraction time, condensation flow rate and water/solid plant material ratio, have been investigated. The highest yield value was 1.92% and was obtained for a water/plant ratio, a condensate flowrate, and extraction time of 20, 4.51ml/min and 120 min, respectively. The essential oil components have been identified using the GCMS analysis which show camphor as the major ingredient, followed by camphene, α-pinene and 1,8-cineole. The results have been compared with those obtained using a supercritical carbon dioxide extraction process, which has shown to be more much better quantitatively and qualitatively.

Pomelo peel-derived essential oils have been gaining popularity due to greater demand for stress relief therapy or hair care therapy. In this study, we first performed optimization of parameters in the pomelo essential oil extraction process on a pilot scale to gain better insights for application in larger scale production. Then extraction kinetics, activation energy, thermodynamics, and essential oil quality during the extraction process were investigated during the steam distillation process. Three experimental conditions including material mass, steam flow rate, and extraction time were taken into consideration in response surface methodology (RSM) optimization. The optimal conditions were found as follows: sample weight of 422 g for one distillation batch, steam flow rate of 2.16 mL/min and extraction time of 106 min with the coefficient of determination R2 of 0.9812. The nonlinear kinetics demonstrated the compatibility of the kinetic model with simultaneous washing and unhindered diffusion with a washing rate constant of 0.1515 min−1 and a diffusion rate constant of 0.0236 min−1. The activation energy of the washing and diffusion process was 167.43 kJ.mol−1 and 96.25 kJ.mol−1, respectively. The thermodynamic value obtained at the ΔG° value was −35.02 kJ.mol−1. The quality of pomelo peel essential oil obtained by steam distillation was characterized by its high limonene content (96.996%), determined by GC-MS.

Abstract The influence of different purge times on the yield of the main essential oil constituents of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), and chamomile (Chamomilla recutita L.) was investigated. The pressurized liquid extraction process was performed by applying different extraction temperatures and solvents. The results presented in the paper show that the estimated yield of essential oil components extracted from the plants in the pressurized liquid extraction process is purge time-dependent. The differences in the estimated yields are mainly connected with the evaporation of individual essential oil components and the applied solvent during the purge; the more volatile an essential oil constituent is, the greater is its loss during purge time, and the faster the evaporation of the solvent during the purge process is, the higher the concentration of less volatile essential oil components in the pressurized liquid extraction receptacle. The effect of purge time on the estimated yield of individual essential oil constituents is additionally differentiated by the extraction temperature and the extraction ability of the applied solvent.

Callicarpa candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. (Callicarpa cana L.) is a medicinal plant that is distributed mainly in the tropics and subtropics of Asia and finds a wide range of uses in traditional medicine. In this study, we attempted and optimized the microwave-assisted hydro-distillation (MAHD) process to obtain essential oil from the leaves of C. candicans. In addition, the obtained oil was analyzed for volatile composition by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and assayed for bioactivity against several bacteria and cancer cell lines. To optimize the extraction process, response surface methodology (RSM) in combination with central composite design (CCD) was adopted. Experimental design and optimization were carried out with respect to three experimental factors including the ratio of water to raw material, extraction time, and microwave power. The optimal extraction conditions were obtained as follows: water to raw material ratio of 6/1 (v/w), extraction time 42 min, and microwave power 440 W. Composition determination of the obtained C. candicans essential oil indicated the presence of predominant components including caryophyllene <b-> (10.45%), cadinene <d-> (10.28%), gurjunene <a-> (8.95%), muurolene <g-> (8.92%), selinene <a-> (7.06%), selinene <b-> (5.59%), and copaene <a-> (5.40%). In comparison with the essential oils obtained via traditional hydro-distillation method, the essential oil extracted by MAHD exhibited superior anti-proliferative activity on all tested cancer cell lines. Current results imply that the MAHD is capable of recovering biologically-active natural products of greater quantity than that recovered by the conventional distillation.

The main objective of this study is to improve the mathematical modelling of Cymbopogon winterianus essential oil extraction by steam distillation proposed by Cassel and Vargas by minimum 5% error reduction. Two process variable of steam distillation which are extraction time and raw material state (dry or natural) has been optimized by using factorial experimental planning to obtain high yields of citronella essential oil from twig and leaves of lemongrass species Cymbopogon winterianus (C.winterianus). The optimal condition for maximum yield (0.942%) were found to be an extraction time, 4 hr, state, natural plant. The study of Cassel and Vargas was subsequently continued with five proposed kinetics model of the extraction process. The modelling of the extraction process is optimized by using one adjustable parameter of the model and the adequacy of the fit of the models to the experimental data are analyzed by using three statistical criteria that are correlation coefficient (r) ,the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean relative deviation modulus (E). The result has shown that the mathematical model developed by Ana based on mass transfer fundamentals is the optimum mathematical model for the extraction of Cymbopogon winterianus essential oil by steam distillation.

Vietnam is a leading producer and exporter of products harvested from plants of the family Piperaceae such as green pepper, black pepper, red pepper and white pepper. In this study, an attempt is made to examine the essential oil extraction process with the material of white pepper grown and harvested in Phu Quoc island, Vietnam. To maximize essential oil production, three factors consisting the ratio of materials and solvents, extraction time and extraction temperature were selected and optimized. The surface response methodology optimization resulted the highest yield of 3.6%, achieved at the ratio of material and water ratio of 1:20 g/g, extraction time of 96 min and at 130 ºC. A high F values, low P values (< 0.0001), the determination coefficient (R2 = 0.9993) and a non-significant lack of fit suggested a strong correlation between actual and predicted values of the responses. The essential oil obtained was determined for chemical composition by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The GC-MS results showed that major constituents existing in the oil sample were limonene, 3-carene, sabinene, β-pinene, α-pinene and α-phellandrene, accounting for 27.059, 23.345, 17.903, 9.996, 5.167 and 4.588%, respectively.

Significance of essential oils from Etlingera elatior (E. elatior) are growing these days and have prospective to embrace great export in future, yet the quantity of the essential oil extracted does not extant in decent rate. Therefore the purpose of this research is to determine the optimum yield of the E. elatior essential oil. The E. elatior were prepared in two conditions which are normal (fresh) and dry grinded sample. The extraction of normal and dry grinded E. elatior was conducted using Soxhlet extraction with methanol as a solvent. The extraction process was conducted at different extraction time (2, 4, 6 hours). The study indicated that the dry grinded E. elatior produced a higher yield of essential oil as compared to normal grinded E. elatior. The yield of essential oil obtained from dry grinded E. elatior was 71.44% while with normal grinded E. elatior, the yield was 56.42%. The effect of extraction time towards yield of essential oil shown that prolong extraction up to 6 hours gave a higher yield of E. elatior essential oil. The constituents in the E. elatior essential oil were determined and quantified using GC-MS analysis. The analysis indicated that the E. elatior essential consist of 2-Furaldehyde, 5- methyl, 3-Methyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione, Maple lactone, Furan-2,5-dial, Pyranone and 5-Hydroxymethyl furaldehyde.
