Efficacy of Microwave Heating Parameters on Physical Properties of Extracted Oil from Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)

Abstract: In the study, essential oil extraction from turmeric was carried out using modified microwave distillation system and rotary evaporator unit. In present study, effect of input parameters i.e. microwave power (200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 W) and extraction time (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min.) on physical properties (oil yield, specific gravity, refractive index and colour) of essential oil were studied. Fixed ratio samples (1:1:1) i.e. turmeric powder, solvent and distilled water was used during the experiment condu… Show more

“…During drying, the material undergoes volumetric shrinkage due to moisture loss. It is been seen that the thicker sample shrank less than the thinner sample and hence exhibits less resistance to moisture migration (Ochoa‐Martínez et al, 2012; Sachin et al, 2020; Yilmaz & Alibas, 2017). Collectively, the difference in moisture diffusivities with changing process parameters is due to the acceleration of the water molecules due to changing thermal energy, resulting in a change in the viscosity of water and moisture diffusivity (Shi et al, 2008).…”

“…It is the most abundant source of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and phytochemicals such as phenols, ascorbic acid, and flavonoids that are important for its high antioxidant activity (Coz-Bolaños et al, 2018). Nutritional composition, phytochemical profile, and antioxidant activity differ significantly with crop variety, drying conditions, and pre-treatments given before use (Attkan et al, 2014;Cho et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2020). In the current scenario, drying is a common practice to obtain superior quality of dehydrated fruits, vegetables, and leaves.…”
