Ultratovush yordamida doljinning turbo ekstraksiyasi

Traditional cinnamon extraction is time-consuming and relatively inefficient. Ultrasonic extraction is a simple, yet highly efficient process intensifying technique wich reduces the extraction time to a few hours and increases simultaneously the cinnamon essential oil yield.

Improved Cinnamon Extraction with Ultrasonics

The traditional extraction of cinnamon essential oil is achieved by steam distillation of cinnamon bark and leaves. The traditional steam distillation is very slow and time-consuming. The higher the targeted yield of cinnamon oil, the longer the steam distillation, which means that the steam distillation of a kettle of cinnamon leaves can take up to 12 hours, whilst the steam distillation of cinnamon bark can take more than 24 hours. Ultrasonic extraction break the cell structures of the cinnamon bark and leaves up so that the cinnamon oil is released rapidly and completely. Ultrasonic extraction accelerates the steam distillation significantly, shortening the processing time from a full day to a few hours whilst increasing the yield of cinnamon essential oil.
Ultrasonic extraction releases the full spectrum of aromatic cinnamon compounds, including cinnamaldehyde, linalool, eugenol, and cinnamic acid. Giving a full-spectrum extract of high-quality essential oil compounds is the reason for the superior quality of ultrasonically extracted cinnamon oils. Especially cinnamaldehyde, the main organic compound gives cinnamon its signature flavour and scent. As sonication is a non-thermal treatment, the essential oil compounds are prevented from thermal degradation. Therefore, ultrasonic extraction produces aroma-intense essential oils fulfilling highest quality standards.
Ultrasonic extraction can be applied to cinnamon bark and leaves. Cinnamon leaf oil has a stronger scent when compared to bark oil. Cinnamon leaves contain high amounts of eugenol.

Why Ultrasonic Extraction Excels Steam Distillation

To produce essential oils from cinnamon via steam distillation, the essential oils must first released from the plant matrix (i.e. plant cells in the cinnamon leaves or bark). In steam distillation, the cinnamon plant material is boiled for up to 24 hours in kettles. Heat alone is relatively inefficient in breaking the cell structures and releasing the essential oils entrapped. Generally, boiling does not release the entrapped essential oils completely and larger amounts of residual oils are wasted, since they were not extracted. After the heat extraction process, the steam distillation will take place. Therefore, a mixture of two immiscible liquids (i.e. essential oil and water) is boiled. The mixture start boiling when their combined vapour pressure is equal to 760 mm Hg. The boiling point of a mixture of water and essential oil will thus be lower than the boiling point of either component separately. The traditional hydrodistillation has major drawbacks: The long boiling and steaming process is very time- and energy-consuming.
Ultrasonic extraction works by acoustic cavitation. Acoustic cavitation occurs, when power ultrasound waves are couples into a liquid (e.g. a suspension consisting of botanical material in a solvent or water). The ultrasonic waves travel through the liquid causing alternating high-pressure / low-pressure cycles. During low-pressure cycles, minute vacuum bubbles (so-called cavitation bubbles) are created, which grow over several pressure cycles. At a certain size, when the bubbles cannot absorb more energy, they implode violently during a high-pressure cycle. The bubble implosion is characterised by intense cavitational forces, including micro-turbulences and liquid streams with velocities of up to 100m/s. These cavitational shear effects are also known as sonomechanical effects. Ultrasonic extraction of bioactive molecules is mainly caused by sonomechanical effects: the agitation and turbulences disrupt cells and promote mass transfer. This means the bioactive molecules such as essential oils, polyphenols, terpenes, and cannabinoids are released from the plant cell matrix into the solvent.
The advantage of ultrasonic extraction over the traditional boiling and steam distillation method is the comparatively higher extraction of essential oils and other organic compound in a significantly shorter time. The higher extraction yields avoids the wasting of raw material and make the extraction more lucrative. Time and energy savings achieved by ultrasonic extraction are substantial. As non-thermal method, ultrasonic extraction prevents the thermo-sensitive compounds from heat-induced degradation.
The mild temperatures and short processing time are major advantages of ultrasonic extraction since a thermal decomposition of the natural extracts is prevented. This makes ultrasonic extraction highly efficient and therefore, sonication gives essential oils of superior quality.

Case Studies of Ultrasonic Cinnamon Extraction

Research and industry have already adopted ultrasonic extraction for the production of high-quality essential oils from many botanicals including cinnamon leaves and bark.

Ultrasonic Hydrodistillation of Cinnamon

Chen et al. (2020) investigated the ultrasonically promoted hydrodistillation and concluded that sonication improved the distillation process significantly. Ultrasonic steam distillation provided higher yields of cinnamon oil within drastically reduced extraction time. Using GC-MS analysis, they showed the ultrasonically assisted hydrodistillation provided more valuable essential oil with a high content of the main compound trans-cinnamaldehyde compared with the traditional hydrodistillation. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) confirmed the efficiency of sonication for cinnamon oil extraction. In addition, the analysis of electric consumption and CO2 emission shows that the ultrasonically assisted hydrodistillation process is the more economic and environment-friendly approach. Therefore, Chen et al. summarize that ultrasonically assisted hydrodistillation is an efficient and green technology for the cinnamon essential oil extraction, which can improve the quantity and quality of cinnamon oils.

Ultrasonic Cinnamon Extraction Using Deep Eutectic Solvents

Ultrasonic extraction using deep eutectic solvents have been shown to be a superior technique to extract high yields of trans-cinnamaldehyde and coumarin from cinnamon bark.
method under optimum conditions gave higher trans-cinnamaldehyde and coumarin content than those obtained from conventional methods (reflux, soxhlet and maceration) using organic solvents (96% ethanol). The optimum conditions for ultrasonic extraction using natural deep eutectic solvents were found to be choline chloride-citric acid (ChCl-CA) with 40% water addition and a 30-minute extraction time to extract trans-cinnamaldehyde (9.24 ± 0.01 mg/g) and coumarin (11.6 ± 0.11 mg/g) from cinnamon bark (C. burmannii Blume). Further investigation should be done to explore the pharmacological activity of the trans-cinnamaldehyde and coumarin from cinnamon bark. (cf. Aryati et al. 2020)

ommaviy va inline

Hielscher ultrasonicators can be used for batch and continuous flow-through processing. Ultrasonic batch processing is ideal for process testing, optimisation and small to mid-size production level. For a producing large volumes of botanicals (e.g. cinnamon leaves and bark), inline processing might be more advantageous.

A continuous inline extraction process requires sophisticated setup – consisting in a pump, hoses or pipes and tanks -, but it is more efficient, faster and requires significantly less labour. Hielscher Ultrasonics has the most suitable extraction setup for your extraction volume and process goals.
