OPTIMIZATION OF PATCHOULI OIL (POGOSTEMON CABLIN, BENTH) WITH STEAM DISTILLATION ASSISTED BY PULSED ELECTRIC FIELD VIA RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY
The study was aimed to determine the role of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment before hydro-distillation of the patchouli oil. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize PEF treatment (voltages, frequencies) and times of distillation of patchouli oil from dried patchouli crops....
