Abstract

Citronella leaves are generally processed using conventional methods to obtain its essential oil. UMAE (Ultrasound-Microwave Assisted Extraction) method can be a replacement of conventional methods. UMAE is an extraction process assisted by ultrasonic waves and microwaves. NaCl solution can be used as a solvent in the UMAE method due to its large dielectric constant value. This research aimed to examinethe effect of microwave power and salt concentration on the characteristics of citronella leaf essential oil (density, refractive index, color, and solubility in alcohol). The extraction method used in this research was Ultrasound Microwave-Assisted Extraction (UMAE). The solvent and material used in this research were NaCl salt solution and Red Citronella Leaves (Cymbopogon nardus L.). The first stage carried out in this research was pre-treatment assisted by ultrasonic waves for five minutes at a temperature of 35 ᵒC, solvent concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% (w/v). The second stage was microwave-assisted extraction with a microwave power of 150, 300, 450, 600, and 750 Watts. The best results were produced at a concentration of 4% NaCl salt solution and 450Watt microwave power with yellow color, density value 0.8898 g/mL, refractive index 1.456, and solubility in alcohol 1:2. Overall, the quality of citronella leaves essential oil was in range of SNI 06-3953 1995. Therefore, the Red Citronella Leaves (Cymbopogon nardus L.) in the future can be considered as the alternative resource of citronella essential oil due to its good characteristics, among many varieties of citronella plants.

Abstract

The development of environmentally friendly methods for nanoparticle synthesis has gained increasing attention. Black pepper essential oil contains secondary metabolites that act as both reducing and stabilizing agents, making it a promising green alternative in silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis. This study aims to investigate the effect of pH and synthesis time on the yield and characteristics of AgNP synthesized using black pepper essential oil via the sonochemical method. AgNP synthesis was carried out using the sonochemical method by adding black pepper essential oil to a silver nitrate solution. AgNP were synthesized at pH levels of 8, 9, and 10 with reaction times of 30, 60, and 90 minutes. The obtained AgNP were analyzed for yield, UV-Vis absorbance, and particle size distribution. The results demonstrated that yield increased with higher pH and longer synthesis time, reaching a maximum of 58.12% at pH 10 and 90 minutes. UV-Vis analysis confirmed the presence of AgNP with absorption peaks between 400500 nm. The particle size ranged from 9.66 to 348 nm, indicating size variability influenced by synthesis conditions. These findings highlight the potential of black pepper essential oil as a green and sustainable approach for AgNP synthesis, offering eco-friendly benefits for various applications.

Abstract

This research investigates the fabrication and characterization regarding silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) utilizing essential oil derived from citronella leaves (Cymbopogon nardus L.) as a bioreductant. The synthesis method employed is sonochemistry, with variations in pH levels to determine optimal conditions for AgNPs yield. The use of essential oil as a bioreductant offers eco-friendly advantages and high efficiency in reducing metal ions. The results indicate that the highest yield of 8.67% was achieved at pH 9.0280 and 59.7190 minutes of sonochemical processing. Statistical optimization of processing parameters was conducted to maximize the yield of AgNPs, with the optimization process analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The sequence of experimental runs, condition variations, and obtained results were determined using the Central Composite Design (CCD). The model demonstrates a strong correlation with the experimental data, exhibiting an adjusted R² value of 0.9684. A high F-value of 30.61 and a low p-value of 0.0009 suggest that the regression model is statistically significant and effectively accounts for variations in AgNPs yield. The lack-of-fit value for the model is 0.0359, indicating no significant discrepancy between the experimental data and the model's predicted values. The successful formation of AgNPs was confirmed, with absorption peaks observed within the 400–450 nm range.
