Hydrodistillation of Essential Oil from Cymbopogon flexuosus
Abstract
Hydrodistillation is a potentially useful method to extract essential oil from various plant materials and was used to separate essential oil from Cymbopogon flexuosus (lemongrass). The yield is dependent on various parameters like weight of raw material, volume of water, size of raw material and nature of raw material. The purpose of this study was to find the optimum values of these parameters. The optimized conditions for the extraction were 50 g of raw material, 500 ml of water volume, plant size of 25 mm, and the yield obtained was 1.04 percent. The loss of about nine percent essential oil was observed during drying of leaves of lemongrass. Composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS and higher amount of oxygenated compounds, mainly citral, was found in each sample. There was not much variation observed in amount of citral. The results indicated that hydrodistillation may further be utilized for scale up studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
