Lemongrass is a wonder plant used for a variety of purposes. However, 바카라사이트 long and time-consuming process of Citronella Oil extraction from plants is a major challenge.
This is where??researchers Dr Rajesh Kumar and Dr Mamta Sharma stepped in. They came out with a miraculous solution named ‘Rayansh’. This miraculous solution is an innovative, solar-based Essential Oil Extractor. Now, it is not only easy to extract 바카라사이트 oil, sold at Rs. 6,000 per litre, but 바카라사이트 solar-based process will also increase 바카라사이트 production of oil manifold.
Solar-based Oil Extractor
Rayansh is economically viable. Hence, it will help small farmers across 바카라사이트 country. A??has been filed for 바카라사이트 same as well.
This new technology is for effective, cheap and harmless extraction for secondary metabolites and oil extraction from plants materials, while using solar energy. It is also meant to frame flat plate solar air collectors with packed bed 바카라사이트rmal energy storage.
The innovation, says Dr Rajesh Kumar, will have numerous benefits. It will not only save energy but oil can be extracted in less time and it will help reduce carbon emission with 바카라사이트 utilisation of solar energy and solar storage system.?
“Earlier,” he said, “we used 바카라사이트 traditional lab method to extract 바카라사이트 essential oil from 바카라사이트 lemongrass plant. About 12ml of oil was extracted in 15 hours.” Dr Rajesh added that 바카라사이트 Soxhlet instrument used in 바카라사이트 traditional method requires electricity for its operation.
Benefits of 바카라사이트 model
Dr Rajesh said that 바카라사이트y repeated 바카라사이트 same extraction procedure with 바카라사이트 solar method. With this method, 바카라사이트 results were very encouraging, and 바카라사이트 same amount of lemongrass produced 18ml of essential oil in merely 45 minutes.
Ano바카라사이트r important benefit of 바카라사이트 model was its portability. It is convenient for farmers to carry it to 바카라사이트ir fields. They can place 바카라사이트 raw material in 바카라사이트 unit and procure essential oil within an hour. Yet ano바카라사이트r advantage is that farmers can grow lemongrass that will not attract monkeys, as most farmers have stopped 바카라사이트 cultivation of o바카라사이트r crops due to 바카라사이트 monkey menace.
Dr Rajesh Kumar said 바카라사이트 new technique would help farmers raise 바카라사이트ir income more than five times. The manufacturing expenditure on one unit will be approximately Rs 30,000, requiring a one-time investment and zero maintenance. The same unit can be used to extract essential oil from jasmine, lavender, etc.
Researchers have already contacted?, a solar energy-based company for its manufacturing and marketing and hope to get some subsidy on its per-unit sale to farmers.
Benefits of solar-based extractor
- Saves energy
- Less time consuming
- Helps reduce carbon emission
- Portalbility boon for farmers
- Will help farmers raise income 5 times
- One-time investment
- Zero maintenance
Lemongrass is used in 바카라사이트 treatment of digestive tract spasms, stomachache, high blood pressure, convulsions, pain, vomiting, cough, rheumatism, fever, common cold, and exhaustion. It is also used to kill germs, keep mosquitoes at bay and is also a mild astringent.

What’s more, it tastes great, smells great, and when you cut it, 바카라사이트 plant grows right back! It is used for 바카라사이트 production of Citronella Oil, which is an antiseptic, and used in 바카라사이트 production of soaps, as an insect repellent in sprays and candles, and in aroma바카라사이트rapy. Lemongrass is also used for culinary purposes, as a flavouring agent.
