Abstract
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) has been recognized as a technology with many advantages over other extraction methods, such as cost reduction, extraction time, energy consumption, electricity and CO2 emissions. In this study, MAE was used to obtain the essential oils of two types of jasmine (basil and epazote). A factorial design was conducted to determine the effects of weight volume, strength, and heating time on essential oils. The chemical composition, physical properties and results of MAE essential oils were compared with those obtained by steam distillation (SD).
Result: Drug weight and heating time had an effect on the results (p < 0.05). The chemical composition and physical properties of basil and epazote essential oils were not affected by the extraction method (MAE or SD) and similar results were obtained (p<0.05).
