Abstract:Extraction of the native plants Plectranthus amboinicus and Melaleuca cajupati leaves have been carried out using traditional hydrodistillation (steam distillation) and solvent free microwave-assisted extraction methods at different temperatures and microwave irradiation powers. The chemical compositions of the essential oils extracted were identified using gas chromatography analysis. The ideal extraction time for Pletranthus amboinicus and Melaleuca cajupati were 120 min with microwave power 200 W and 400 W,… Show more
