Chemical composition, kinetic study and antimicrobial activity of essential oils from Cymbopogon schoenanthus L. Spreng extracted by conventional and microwave-assisted techniques using cryogenic grinding

In this present work, volatile oils from Cymbopogon schoenanthus L. Spreng’s (CS) leaves extracted by microwave assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) and microwave assisted steam distillation (MASD) were studied according to simple (SG) and cryogenic grinding (CG) and compared with conventional hydrodistillation (HD). Extraction time, kinetics, energy consumption, CO2 rejected, physical properties, chemical composition and antimicrobial activity...
