Abstract:This study determined the extraction conditions, chemical composition, and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils of Citrus nobilis. The results illustrated that soaking in the 9% (w/v) NaCl solution for 2 h with a sample and solvent ratio of 1:3 (w/v) and a subsequent extraction time of 45 min yielded the highest extraction efficiency, reaching 3.66% (w/w). The main chemical components of the essential oils were limonene (90.42%), β-myrcene (4.7%), and α-pinene (1.22%). The minimum inhibitory concentr… Show more
“…12 The Clevenger hydrodistillation is a well-established method for the recovery of essential oil from OPW. [51][52][53] This process generates wastewater rich in phytochemicals, which presents challenges for responsible waste management. Citrus wastewaters have a highly variable composition due to variations in raw material composition and industrial conditions.…”
