Hydrodistillation, NADES, pineapple varieties, GC-MS and residuesAbstract
In Colombia, approximately 32,700 ha of pineapple are cultivated, generating large amounts of peel waste (1). These peels pose an environmental issue but contain bioactive compounds such as essential oils (EO), valuable in several industries (2). This study focused on EO extraction from Oro miel and Crespa pineapple peels using microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) with Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES). Various NADES were formulated and characterized. Extraction conditions were optimized, and the best ones were applied to MAHD using NADES. Finally, EO were analyzed by GC-MS, revealing differences in volatile profiles between the two pineapple varieties.
