Essential Oil from Lemongrass Extracted by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Steam Distillation

This study compares the composition of essential oil extracted from lemongrass leaves and stems using supercritical CO2 (SC CO2) and steam distillation. In the process using SC CO2 extraction in a Supercritical Fluid Extraction System (SFE), the temperature of extraction was varied from 35–50 0C, wh...
