Microwave Assisted Extraction of Essential Oil FromCymbopogon Flexuosus(Steud.) Wats.: A Parametric and Comparative Study

Abstract: Microwave assisted extraction was employed for efficient and rapid extraction of essential oil from leaves of Cymbopogon flexuosus (Steud.) Wats. (lemongrass). Parametric study was carried out to examine the effect of various parameters like solid loading, volume of water, rehydration time, extraction time, and power on yield and composition of essential oil. Hydrodistillation was performed for comparative analysis. Kinetic modelling of experimental data was attempted. Microscopic analysis of treated and untre… Show more

“…Beyond this maximum point, the fixed oil extracted plummeted resulting in the reduction of energy dissipation (Mihaela and Simona, 2007). This suggests that with an increase in solvent volume, most of the microwave energy emitted goes into the vaporization of the large volume of water as reported by Desai and Parikh (2012).…”

“…Its applications in Nigeria include cures for upset stomach, malaria therapy, insect repellent and as an antioxidant (tea) [8]. C. citratus and C. flexuosus are the prevailing species in Eastern and Western India and have been used locally in cosmetics, insecticides, and for the treatment of digestive disorders and fevers [9,10]. …”

“…Higher extraction of polyphenolic compounds was observed, when solvent polarity was modified by addition of water in the solvent [22]. Microwave extraction shows promising advantages over conventional solvent extraction system and is an efficient method for Downloaded by [University of Connecticut] at 03: 22 13 April 2015 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 4 extracting active biological compounds [23,24,25,26,27,28]. Polyphenolic compounds from waste Cherry Pomace [29] grape seeds [22] and tea leaves [21] have also been successfully extracted by MAE technique.…”
