“…Geranial (31.53%, 37.24%, and 39.86%), neral (30.08%, 31.28%, and 34.52%), and myrcene (16.61%, 15.42%, and 14.49%) were the major components of the essential oils extracted from lemongrass leaves dried by sun, in an oven or in shade, respectively. Generally, drying methods of lemongrass leaves have no tangible effect on the composition of main essential oil components (neral and geranial) [Kumar et al, 2015].…”

, and the others in South Asia. Cymbopogon exuosus and Cymbopogon citratus represent the two major species vastly cultivated for their essential oils in different regions of the world. C. citratus is known by numerous international common names, such as West Indian lemon grass or lemon grass (English), citronelle or verveine des indes (French), hierba limon or zacate de limón (Spanish), xiang mao (Chinese), capimcidrao or capim-santo (Portuguese), and locally there are identi ed more than 28 indigenous names from different countries of the world. The genus Cymbopogon has been reviewed comprehensively in several articles [Avoseh et al., 2015; Haque et al., 2018]. C. citratus is an aromatic, evergreen, clump-forming, perennial grass producing numerous stiff stems arising from a short rhizomatous rootstock, and growing around 1.5 m tall. It rarely produces owers. The leaves are blue-green in colour, at, erect, linear in shape and give off a characteristic lemon avour when they are crushed. C. citratus is considered to have its origin in Malaysia, nowadays it is widely cultivated in the Central and South America and parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean Islands, both on a commercial scale and in gardens especially in the South

“…The content of citral or 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal in lemongrass essential oil is very much to be discussed because the quality of this product is generally determined by the amount of citral. Citral is used in the production of vitamin A and ionone (Kumar et al 2015;Ajayi et al 2016). In addition, besides citral, lemongrass essential oil consists of other bioactive compounds were limonene, citronella betamyrcene, geraniol, and others.…”

“…Therefore, lemongrass must be harvested at the right level of maturity to achieve high-quality essential oils and lower production costs (Tajidin et al 2012). The effect of the drying method on the yield and composition of essential oils from lemongrass extracted by hydrodistillation has been reported by (Kumar et al 2015) . This method of sun drying gives the best results from essential oils followed by oven drying hot air carried out at 60 o C and microwaves.…”

Abstract. Hartatie ES, Prihartini I, Widodo W, Wahyudi A. 2020. Short Communication: Detection of bioactive compounds in essential oil from lemongrass cultivated in Ngantang, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 2821-2825. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) commonly known as West Indian lemongrass is a member of the Poaceae family and belongs to genus Cymbopogon. It is one of the plants commonly used in fresh form as a spice by the people in Indonesia and widely planted in the yard of the house. Lemongrass contains several bioactive compounds and it might be extracted to obtain essential oils useful for many applications such as flavor and fragrance ingredients, perfumery, cosmetics, food preservation, pharmaceutical. The chemical composition of essentials oil can be variable, according to the genetic diversity, habitat, weather, and cultural treatment. The aim of study was to investigate the bioactive compounds in essential oil from lemongrass stalk and lemongrass leaves which cultivated in Ngantang, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Detection of bioactive compounds was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results of study are the main compound in lemongrass essential oil was citral. There is a difference between the citral content of essential oils from lemongrass stalk compared to essential oils from lemongrass leaves, both in quantity and components. The citral (geranial and neral) content of essential oil made from stalk was higher than made from leaves, but the amount of bioactive compounds of essential oils from leaves more than from the stalk.

“…According to the literature, increasing the temperature, air velocity, and drying time significantly reduces the moisture content. [20][21][22] Table 2 shows the three models that best fit in each dehydration condition. The model that best represents the drying process had higher values of r, 2 and lower values of χ 2 , and RMSE.…”

In this work, the effect of drying conditions on pear slices' physicochemical properties was determined. The factors investigated were drying temperature, air velocity, and addition of ascorbic acid. An analysis of variance indicated that the factors affected (P ≤ .05) the response variables significantly. The lowest drying time resulted at 60 C, 3 m s −1 , at 0%, and 1% of ascorbic acid concentration. At these drying conditions, the final moisture content in pear samples was 0.14 g H 2 O g d s −1 . The water activity of the pear samples was in the range from 0.27 to 0.39. A low value of 6.36 of color difference was obtained at 50 C, 1 m s −1 , and 0% of ascorbic acid. During the drying process, the lightness in pear samples increases as the air velocity and the drying temperature increases. The highest hue values (from 54.66 to 63.27 ) resulted in dried pear samples without ascorbic acid; therefore, the dried pear slices tended to yellowness. Chroma results ranged from 19.51 to 21.41 and from 14.96 to 19.16 in pear slices with and without ascorbic acid. Therefore, the color of the pear slices resulted in grayish-yellow. An increment in sugar content was observed from an initial value of 18 Brix to values from 37.5 to 48.7 Brix. This behavior is because the sugar core is concentrated in large amounts during the drying process as the residual water content decreases.
