Applicability of solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) in the extraction of essential oil from Origanum vulgare L. was examined and the effects of microwave power and extraction time on the yield and composition of the product were investigated. Specific gravity and refractive index of the essential oil and its solubility in alcohol were also examined. Hydrodistillation was performed as control. GC-MS/FID was used for the determination and quantification of aroma compounds in the essential oils. SFME offered significantly higher essential oil yields (0.054 mL/g) as compared to hydrodistillation (0.048 mL/g). When 622 W microwave power was used in SFME, conventional process time was reduced by 80%. The main aroma compound of oregano essential oil was found to be thymol (650-750 mg/mL). No significant differences were obtained in the compositions and physical properties of oregano essential oils obtained by SFME and hydrodistillation.

Extraction of Essential Oil from Laurel Leaves by Using Microwaves Bayramoglu, Beste; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The effects of microwave power and time in solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) on the yield and composition of the essential oil obtained from laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) leaves were studied. The extraction was also performed by hydrodistillation as a control. Specific gravities and refractive indices of the essential oils obtained by different methods and at various conditions were also examined. The main constituent of laurel essential oil was 1,8-cineole (630-730mg/mL). Essential oils obtained by SFM...
Solvent-free microwave extraction and microwave-assisted hydrodistillation of essential oils from spices Bayramoğlu, Beste; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2007) The undesirable effects of conventional methods generated the need for economical and safe techniques in the extraction of essential oils. Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) and solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) are recently developed techniques, which are thought to overcome this problem. Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.), laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) were chosen in this study since they have high antimicrobial and antioxidant effects and are widely grown ...
Microwave Assisted Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Sour Cherry Pomace Simsek, Meric; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2012-01-01) Microwave assisted extraction of sour cherry pomace at different conditions were compared with conventional extraction in terms of total phenolic content and antiradical efficiency. Total phenolic content and antiradical efficiency at the optimum conditions (700 W, ethanol-water, 12 min, 20 mL solvent/ g solid) of microwave assisted extraction were 14.14 mg GAE/g sample and 28.32 mg DPPH center dot/g sample, respectively. Total phenolic content and antiradical efficiency of extracts obtained by conventional...
Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Caper DURMAZ, Ezgi; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2015-09-02) In this study, it was aimed to extract phenolic compounds from caper by using microwave and to compare the results with conventional extraction. For microwave-assisted extraction, power, extraction time, solid to solvent ratio, and solvent type were selected as independent variables. Dependent variables were total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, and concentration of phenolic compounds. The increase in solvent amount increased TPC. The highest TPC was obtained by using extraction conditions of ...
Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation of essential oil from rosemary KARAKAYA, SİBEL; EL, SEDEF NEHİR; KARAGÖZLÜ, NURAL; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Bayramoglu, Beste (2014-06-01) Effects of microwave assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) and conventional hydrodistillation (HD) methods on yield, composition, specific gravity, refractive index, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis L were studied. The main aroma compounds of rosemary essential oil were found as 1,8-cineole and camphor. Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) values for essential oils extracted by MAHD and HD were 1.52 mM/ml oil and 1.95 mM/ml oil, respectively. DPPH ...
