BACKGROUND Hydrodistillation (HD) and steam-distillation, or solvent extraction methods of essential oils have some disadvantages like thermal decomposition of extracts, its contamination with solvent or solvent residues and the pollution of residual vegetal material with solvent which can be also an environmental problem. Thus, new green techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction and m...

ABSTRACT: Chemical composition of Lavandula angustifolia was studied by solvent free microwave extraction (SFME) and hydrodistillation (HD) methods. 1, 8-cineole (42.7% and 37.9%), Camphor (26.1% and 21.3%) and Borneol (31.2% and 21.6%) were the major compounds that obtained by SFME and hydrodistillation, respectively. The antibacterial activity of extracted oils was investigated against Gram-p...

This study concerns the transformation of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) sawdust waste into potentially novel products through isolation of volatile compounds in the form of valuable oil. Different techniques, namely, turbohydrodistillation (THD), solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME), microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG), and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) were tested. These dif...

This article describes the various chemical components as obtained from the oils in the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus using hydrodistillation and solvent-free microwave extraction methods. Furthermore, extractions of the oils were also carried out with a slight in pH variation and compared, "GC-MS evaluation of C. citratus (DC) Stapf oil obtained using modified hydrodistillation and microwave e...
