This study compares the composition of essential oil extracted from lemongrass leaves and stems using supercritical CO2 (SC CO2) and steam distillation. In the process using SC CO2 extraction in a Supercritical Fluid Extraction System (SFE), the temperature of extraction was varied from 35-50 0C, wh...
