Enhancing Essential Oil Extraction from Lavandin Grosso Flowers via Plasma Treatment.

Int J Mol Sci

February 2024

Laboratory of Dioxins, Department of Environmental Chemistry, Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDÆA), Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), 08034 Barcelona, Spain.

This study explores the impact of plasma treatment on Lavandin Grosso flowers and its influence on the extraction of essential oils (EOs) via hydrodistillation. Short plasma treatment times enhance the yield of EO extraction from 3.19% in untreated samples to 3.

Article Synopsis
  • Polarizers are essential in optoelectronic devices like displays and cameras, but they struggle with significant optical losses when controlling light polarization.
  • Organometal halide perovskites (OMHP) offer tunable optical properties and low energy losses, making them ideal for applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics.
  • The study focuses on creating highly aligned methylammonium lead iodide perovskite nanowalls, which enhance light absorption and sensitivity to polarization, paving the way for advanced optoelectronic devices.

Influence of irrigation conditions in the germination of plasma treated Nasturtium seeds.

Sci Rep

November 2018

Nanotechnology on Surfaces group, Institute of Materials Science of Seville (US-CSIC), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, C/Américo Vespucio 49, 41092, Seville, Spain.

Plasma treatments had emerged as a useful technique to improve seed germination. In this work we investigate the influence of different irrigation conditions and plasma treatments on the germination of nasturtium seeds. During plasma treatment, seeds experience a progressive weight loss as a function of treatment time that has been associated to water release, a process that is more pronounced after longer plasma treatment times.
