Microwave steam diffusion for extraction of essential oil from orange peel: Kinetic data, extract’s global yield and mechanism

An original approach for lipophilic natural products extraction: Use of liquefied n-butane as alternative solvent to n-hexane

“…This small difference has a direct impact on the energy consumption regarding the equivalent CO 2 with respectively 88 g CO2 and 96 g CO2 . These calculations have been made according to the literature: to obtain 1 kWh from coal or fuel, 800 g of CO 2 will be emitted during combustion of fossil fuel (Farhat et al, 2011).…”

Microwave-assisted Hydrodistillation for Extraction of Essential Oil from Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) Leaves

“…Full recovery of EOs was achieved within the first 126 min of operation in MAHD, respectively, whereas it took at least 417 min for the HD to fulfill the extraction operation. Farhat et al (2011) [25] found that less time was needed for EOs to be extracted thoroughly from orange peels via microwave extraction (12 min) than via the HD (40 min). Also, Bousbia et al (2009) [26] presented similar findings in their study on EOs extracted from lime wherein it took 15 min for the microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity method to accomplish the extraction process, in comparison with HD which took 180 min.…”

Peels of Lemon and Orange as Value-Added Ingredients: Chemical and Antioxidant Properties

“…In Egypt and many Mediterranean countries, a major quantity of the citrus peels does not process. Some efforts were made to use these residues as livestock feed (Ghasemi et al, 2009;Kim et al, 2004;Masmoudi et al, 2008;Chedea et al, 2010;Di Mauro et al, 1999;Farhat et al, 2011;Bampidis, and Robinson, 2006). Natural products present in citrus peels e.g.…”
