Optimization of enzyme assisted reflux extraction process for extracting essential oil from the root of Litsea Cubeba by response surface methodology

This study evaluated the effects of pectinase, cellulase, and hemicellulase on dried roots of Litsea cubeba powder using enzyme-assisted hydrodistillation. Through single-factor experiment, four factors, namely, enzyme dosage, liquid-to-material ratio, enzymatic hydrolysis time and distillation time, have significant i...
