The experiments were carried out according to the protocol
shown in Fig. 1. The research concerning cananga oil isolation
using classical techniques has shown that the organic solvent
extraction exhibits a higher rate and oil yield than steam distillation
[15]. It was also found that chloroform extracts more polar
compounds and non-volatile molecules than hexane. Based on
these results, chloroform extraction during 2 h was used in the
presentwork for the oil separation from untreated (reference oil)
or residual flowers (residual oil). More experimental details can
be found in [16].
