Citronella oil derived from the leaves and stems of various Cymbopogon species (lemongrass) finds widespread application in soap, candles, incense, perfumery, cosmetic, flavouring industries worldwide. It is also used as insect repellent non-toxic bio pesticide. The present study employs a QCM-based sensor to discriminate different samples citronella essential depending on content citronellal each sample. Citronellal main component has highest concentration oils. Aside citronellal, contains...
Citral, a significant aldehyde monoterpene found in various kinds of lemongrass (Cymbopogon sp.), is used as an aromatherapy tool to decrease tension, anxiety, and depression, well fragrance soaps other personal care items. Moreover, recent research has revealed that this substance numerous important health benefits, including anti-oxidant, antiinflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-diabetic qualities, mention few. Citral the major component essential oil (LGEO). The percentage citral...
Detection of formaldehyde is extremely important considering its detrimental health hazards. It extensively used as a potent preservative in different consumables like mushrooms, fish, etc. Although there are several methods to detect formaldehyde, developing robust and accurate technique always challenging. Here in, reliable quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) based detection presented where polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) the prime sensing material. The developed sensor has achieved wide...
