Effect of pressure and temperature on supercritical fluid extraction of patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) essential oil by Tan, Teng Ju, Muhammad Shahrin, Artikah

“…The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis demonstrated that SFE at 10 MPa; 35°C gave the highest composition of patchoulol (73.65 ± 3.60 %), while SFE at 60 MPa; 55°C resulted in highest amount of α-patchoulene (5.01 ± 0.20 %). Commercial patchouli essential oil produced by steam distillation was found to acquire the least amount of patchoulol among all (38.95 %), but contained fairly high concentration of α-patchoulene (3.86 %). …”
