Chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Algerian essential oil extracted by hydrodistillation assisted by electromagnetic induction heating.

Hydro-distillation assisted by electromagnetic induction heating (H-EMIH) was employed to extract essential oil (EO) from Algerian fresh orange peels (). H-EMIH was compared with conventional hydro-distillation (C-H) in terms of hydro-distillation time, yield, chemical composition and, antibacterial and antioxidant activities. It was found that extraction of EO with H-EMIH gave a maximal yield of 3.
