“…The chemical compositions of hydroalcoholic extracts from different plants of the Cymbopogon genus have been described in several works [27,29,[57][58][59], but to the best of our knowledge, there are no previous studies on the chemical compositions of citronella (C. winterianus) and palmarosa (C. martinii) extracts. The analysis of lemongrass (C. citratus) extracts [60,61] found compounds in common, such as 3-caffeoyl quinic (25.2 mg/100 g dry plant), caffeic (2.94 mg/100 g plant), 4-caffeoyl quinic (3 mg/100 g plant), and 5-caffeoyl quinic (44.9 mg/100 g dry plant) acids, although the amounts found in the plants studied here were higher (Table S11).…”

The insertion of circular economy principles into the essential oil (EO) production chain aims to reduce waste generation and make integral use of harvested plant material. Higher profits from integral use with reduced waste generation contribute to the eventual use of the EO value chain as an alternative to illicit crops in Colombia (mostly coca). In this study, Java-type citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) and palmarosa (C. martinii) plant materials were used in two consecutive processes to obtain EOs and extracts. The residual biomass after EO distillation was subjected to ultrasound-assisted hydroethanolic extraction to afford extracts that contained bioactive compounds. Citronella and palmarosa were distilled with typical EO yields (1.0 ± 0.1% for citronella; 0.41 ± 0.06% for palmarosa; n = 5) either through hydrodistillation assisted by microwave radiation or through steam distillation, and their composition (determined via GC/FID/MS analysis) and physicochemical parameters fell within their ISO standard specifications. The concentration of citronellal, the major compound of citronella oil, was 500 ± 152 mg/g. Geraniol, the main component of palmarosa oil, was found at 900 ± 55 mg/g. The citronella and palmarosa hydroalcoholic extracts (4–11% yield) were analyzed with UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS, which permitted the identification of 30 compounds, mainly C-glycosylated flavones and hydroxycinnamic acids. Both extracts had similar antioxidant activity values, evaluated using the ABTS+● and ORAC assays (110 ± 44 µmol Trolox®/g extract and 1300 ± 141 µmol Trolox®/g extract, respectively).

“…Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Nardus is commonly used in perfume, cosmetic production, as an insect repellent and has antiviral activity. The main chemical constituents are geraniol, citral, citronellal, and citronellol [24]. Medicinal plants used by the community are generally based on information from generation to generation.…”

In December 2019, a new virus strain of coronavirus-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has been reported. One prevention that can be done is to increase immune systems by using essential oils. This study aims to analyze the essential oils used during a pandemic. A Qualitative descriptive method with a random sampling technique was used in this study. The questionnaire was distributed through social media with a sample size of 261 people in the West Nusa Tenggara region. Data on the percentage of use of essential oils such as eucalyptus oil 82.6%; lemon oil 14.8%; lemongrass oil 13.9%; lavender oil 9.6%. 72.2% answered that the technique for using this oil is by rubbing and 5.76% by inhaling the oil. The expected benefits by users are to be healthy 58.9%; fresh 23.2%, and 11.6% answered to avoid COVID-19. Meanwhile, there were 96.85% respondents used the oils before the pandemic, and 5.3% used the oils since March to April. 50.4% respondents attained the information from social media and 49.6% from friends/family. The data shows the awareness to improve health and immunity through the use of essential oils and it is advisable to give more attention to social media aspects in using medicinal plants containing essential oils.
