“…This result was similar to the composition of essential oils from Citrus nobilis, in which monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were dominant (Liu et al, 2013). Similar report was found on the essential oils of Citrus limetta, with sesquiterpenes being the most abundant compared to other compounds (Colecio-Juárez et al, 2012).…”

Pummelo (Citrus maxima) is one of true citrus species originated from South East Asian regions. Pummelo is known as having high morphological diversity, but lacking of comprehensive publications documenting chemical diversity. The objectives of this study were to reveal essential oil diversity and its implication on the chemotaxonomy of the species. Leaves from forty individual plants were collected from seven districts representing pummelo distribution areas in Indonesia. Isolation of essential oils was done using maceration and solvent extraction procedures. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the essential oils was conducted using GC-MS. Thirty one compounds were identified, consisted of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, ketones, alkenes and fatty acids. Assessment on chemotaxonomical importance of essential oils was carried out using cluster analysis and principal component analysis on volatile compounds. Three chemotypes were recognized, defined as "nerol/loliolide/alloaromadendrenechemotype", "alpha-selinenechemotype" and "alphapinene/delta-carenechemotype". Three chemotypes defined in this study was the first reported chemotaxonomic analysis for Indonesian C. maxima.

Integrating ethnochemistry into the curriculum may provide students meaningful learning in addition to preservation and appreciation towards the quality of their cultural heritage. Hence, the study aimed to document the indigenous usage of household chemicals of Maguindanaons through ethnography research using purposive and snowball sampling in the selected municipalities of Maguindanao Province. Interview, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and observation were employed for data collection in the five (5)-month community immersion. The data were then thematically analysed. As revealed, they had utilized substitutes for paint, floor polishers, mosquito repellents, bath and laundry soaps, toothpastes, perfumes, shampoo and other cosmetics. Furthermore, the study found out that their indigenous usage of household chemicals conforms to standard chemical bases. Accordingly, the output of the study may serve as groundwork to develop culture-based lessons in high school Chemistry in the said locale.

“…In this case, it can cause water pollution due to the presence of various biomaterials [ 2 ]. Sweet lime peel is a source of essential oils, flavonoids and pectin [ 3 ]. The oil extracted from citrus peel has a strong and desirable aroma with a refreshing effect and has been used as a flavoring in foods, beverages and pharmaceutical products.…”

Valorization of Sweet Lime Peel for the Extraction of Essential Oil by Solvent Free Microwave Extraction Enhanced with Ultrasound Pretreatment

et al. 2020

Essential oils of sweet lime peel, a waste by-product in the juice industry, were extracted using the vacuum assisted solvent free microwave extraction (VASFME) method. The effects of microwave output power (500–1000 W) and extraction time (20–30 min) on the essential oils yield and antimicrobial property were investigated. Optimal conditions were observed at 797.844 W microwave output power and 30 min extraction time. The essential oils yield and antimicrobial property under these conditions were 0.792 ± 0.03% and 18.25 ± 1.45 mm, respectively, which agrees with the predicted values of 0.757% and 16.50 mm. The essential oils were extracted at optimized conditions and analyzed through GCMS for compound identification. A total of 49 compounds were identified, with limonene content (43.47%) being the highest among all sweet lime peel oil compounds. Moreover, the sweet lime peels were subjected to ultrasound pre-treatment before microwave extraction. The ultrasound pre-treatment helped to increase the essential oils yield from 0.84 to 1.06% as the treatment time increased from 30 to 90 min. The increase in yield was 37.66% more compared to VASFME at 90 min treatment time.
