Abstract

Lemon myrtle is the richest natural source of citral, which has potential medicinal applications. In this study, citral was extracted from lemon myrtle using cellulose-dissolving ionic liquids (ILs), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylphosphonate ([C2mim][(MeO)(H)PO2]), N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium chloride ([DEME]Cl), and N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium 2-methoxyacetate ([DEME][MOAc]). The extraction yield of citral obtained using ILs was up to 2.1 times higher than that obtained using ethanol. The ILs could be recycled and reused nine times for the extraction of citral. The present method provides a greener process when compared with conventional approaches and may be applicable for the extraction of other natural products.
