Abstract

Fennel fruit (Foeniculim vulgare Mill.) essential oil (FFEO) was isolated from disintegrated plant material by intensified microwave-assisted hydrodistillation approach (MWHD). Isolated FFEO, rich in trans-anethole and low in estragol, was obtained in 30 % higher yield after only 10 min compared to FFEOs isolated via traditional hydrodistillation (HD). Besides significant differences in the chemical composition, the MWHD-obtained FFEO demonstrated superior antibacterial activity, while its anticandidal activity remained unchanged and identical to HD-obtained FFEOs. MWHD technique also required almost 18 times lesser electricity consumption and emitted less CO2 than the conventional HD, suggesting this approach more viable for FFEO production on an industrial level. According to these results, MWHD-obtained FFEO has the potential to be used in food industry and packaging, for the production of nutraceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, bioherbicides and cosmetics.
