Fractionation of Lemon Grass Oil for Commercial Exploitation
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Water-steam distilled lemon grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus L.) oil contains citral 72-78% as main content. Citral was isolated under reduced pressure up to the maximum purity of 90% and further it is chemically converted into highly valuable aroma chemical, geranyl nitrile. The results indicated that isolation of citral and production of geranyl nitrile was a profitable processing for the perfumery industry.
