1. Introduction
The use of essential oils has been a long-established practice in the prevention and treatment of food
and cosmetics across the country [1-3]. Apart from aroma-therapies, cosmetics, flavouring and
spiritual use, essential oil can be used as a fragrance for cleaning products [4-7]. Essential oils are a
mixture of numerous compounds such as saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes,
esters, ethers, ketones, phenolic oxides and terpenes, which can produce a characteristic natural aroma
that is less harmful to consumers’ health, as compared to synthetic fragrances [16-25].
A typical example for this case would be lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). Lemongrass
essential oil is one of the most important essential oils and is widely used to produce citral, which is
one of the main components in essential oils [26]. Lemongrass essential oil is often used as a fragrance
in soap, detergents and various technical products due to its abundance in valuable components
including citral, geraniol, citronellol, nerol, limonene, geranyl, acetate, linalool, and citronellal,
creating distinction when being mixed into product formulations [27-31]. Previous studies have shown
that these compounds can exhibit , antibacterial activity against different bacterial strains which are
Desulfovibrio alaskensis, Ampylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus
cereus [32-35]. Taking advantage of the soil conditions in the Southwest, Vietnam is focusing on
exploiting the potentials of C. citratus and the area of C. citratus cultivation. This urges for further
development in utilizing this source as input materials and then diversifying its products to boost
income for growers, as well as improve the brand recognition.
This study aims to formulate a floor cleaning product with lemongrass essential oils to reduce the
amount of harmful synthetic fragrance used in the products. The content of lemongrass essential oil,
detergent, foaming agent, thickener, electrolyte and suitable storage conditions were determined.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Plant material and chemicals
Lemongrass essential oil were obtained from lemongrass leaves harvested in in Tan Phu Dong district,
Tien Giang province, Vietnam in March 2019. The extraction process is done on industrial-scale
hydrodistillation equipment with 710kg of input material capacity with a time of 3 hours. Essential oil
mixture after extraction was put into a funnel to separate from water and was anhydrous with sodium
sulfate. The maximum extraction efficiency achieved 0.29%.
Chemicals used: Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES), Ethylendiamin Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA-
2Na), Coco Amido Propyl Betaine (CAPB), Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), Natri Benzoat, Butylated
hydroxyanisole (BHA), NaCl were purchased at Nguyen Ba Trading Production Co., Ltd, Tan Binh
District, Ho Chi Minh city.
2.2. Product preparation process
First, the main detergent SLES, co-detergent, EDTA-2Na and preservatives were dissolved in water,
heated and stirred to form a homogeneous mixture. Then CAPB was added to the mixture, followed
by gentle stirring. HEC thickener was soaked, heated and stirred separately in the aqueous phase and
was added to the mixture. The mixture was stirred and allowed to cool. The homogeneous mixture
was then added with lemongrass essential oil to produce lemongrass floor cleaning liquid. Lastly,
different colorants were added to diversify products.
2.3. The evaluation and test methods
The parameters used to evaluate the formulated floor cleaning product were referred to previous
studies [36-38] as well as the formulation of such products which are being sold in the local market.
Foamability: Usability is expressed by the foaming ability of the product. This study uses the
shaking test to measure foaming. The liquid is diluted 100 times and then 2 ml of solution is put into
a stoppered tube, followed by shaking with a moderate force until the amount of foam generated is
maximum (constant foam volume).
Foamability is calculated by the formula:

The durability of the emulsion: The cleaning effect is expressed through the time of emulsification,
that is, the emulsifying ability of the product with selected paraffin oil (simulated for dirt). A volume
of 2 ml of diluent is added to 2 g of paraffin oil, then shake to produce an emulsion. The use of a
stopwatch is used to determine the lifetime of the system when a 1 ml volume of oil is clearly separated.
Products are packed in sealed bottles and stored in different conditions: room temperature,
temperature 45°C, and conditions of thermal shock. Characteristics such as state, color, and smell were
observed.
3. Results and discussion
3.1. Effect of detergent content
The ability to clean is an important factor with a high-quality floor cleaning product. We first
investigated the effect of different cleaning agents including SLES, ethoxylate and alkyl
polyglucoside on foamability and emulsion durability. The results are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The influence of detergent on foamability and durability of the emulsion: (A) Detergent,
(B) SLES contents
The results indicate that SLES is the best detergent with the highest foamability (0.523) in 20.28
minutes of durability of the emulsion, while such ability declined when using ethoxylate (0.484 and
18.51 minutes) and alkyl polyglucoside (0.464 and 17.38 minutes). When used in cosmetics, the Lauryl
ether (SLES) is considered safe for users, as the foam produced by SLES is quite durable and thick
with high foam density and low surface activity, making the agent less harmful to the skin [39]. In
addition, SLES is widely used because it is highly active and particularly inexpensive [40]. The result
of Figure 1b shows the effect of SLES content on the foaming and durability of the emulsion of the
samples. The foaming rate and the durability of the emulsion were highest at 4.5% with 0.507 and
22.42 minutes. Therefore, use 4.5% content as the value of the next survey of other agents.

3.2. Effect of foaming content
Figure 2. The influence of foaming contents on foamability and durability of the emulsion
The assessment of foaming ability and durability of the emulsion was carried out and reported in
Figure 2. Depending on the content of the foaming agent CAPB used in the sample, differences in
foam between the samples could be observed. The foaming level increases gradually from 0.5 to 0.7%
CAPB, tends to decrease with increasing CABP content to 0.8% and 0.9% and reaches the highest
value at 0.7% CABP content with a foaming rate of 0.534. In addition, the durability of the emulsion
of the sample added with 0.7% CAPB was relatively longer than the remaining samples, reaching
approximately 23.523 minutes. CAPB has thickening and foaming properties that should be used as a
common ingredient in personal and family care products [41]. If there are two liquids that are difficult
to dissolve, CAPB will be able to increase the contact area of the two substances, making the cleaning
process faster and easier due to the foaming and increasing viscosity and anti-static [42]. Therefore, a
0.7% CAPB content was used to investigate the next experiment.
3.3. Effect of thickener and thickener content
Figure 3. The influence of thickener on foamability and durability of the emulsion: (A) Thickener and
(B) HEC contents
The influence of the thickener is shown in Figure 3. For a general cleaning product, the last factor
to be investigated to form the finished product is the choice of thickener. There are many different
thickeners, which can thicken the product with electrolytes or polymers [43]. In some cases, the
combination of multiple thickeners should be performed to produce the desired consistency [44].
Therefore, in the study, the suitable product thickeners were selected and examined. After
experimenting on Xanthan Gum, HEC and CMC thickening agents, the foaming and emulsion
consistency of the sample was determined. Based on the results of Figure 3a), results on foamability

and foam durability of samples treated with Xanthan Gum (0.5 and 21.41minutes), HEC (0.533 and
24.37 minutes) and CMC (0.362 and 15.55 minutes) were shown. Clearly, HEC achieved the highest
foamability and foam durability and were selected as the main thickener. On the other hand, the use of
Xanthan Gum and CMC to thicken the product requires the pre-stirring of the substance to prevent
insolubility and lumps from affecting the substrate. In addition, when using Xanthan Gum, the
substrate is not transparent but slightly cloudy (Figure 3.8b), while when using CMC for the product,
the foam is limited compared to HEC and Xanthan Gum (Figure 3A). Survey results of HEC content
affecting the foaming and the durability of the emulsion are shown in Figures 3B). The foaming level
of HEC reached the highest value at the content of 1% (0.464), corresponding with the durability of
the emulsion of 23.31. HEC does not precipitate under high temperatures and has good solubility and
viscosity change over a wide pH range. HEC attains low viscosity within the pH range of 2-12 and
decrease when the pH is outside this limit. The best viscosity is 4800-6000 cps with pH of 8.0 (1% in
water). Another unique advantage of HEC is that it will turn into colloidal when heated, enabling a
wide range of applications [45]. In comparison with other substances, HEC is more hygroscopic,
thickening and has better stabilizing properties [46]. As a non-ionic surfactant, other properties of HEC
may also include thickening, emulsifying, adhesion, film-forming, dispersing, and water retention
[47]. It can coexist in other water-soluble polymers in solutions with a high concentration of
electrolytes [48]. Therefore, HEC was selected for the subsequent investigation
3.4. Effect of electrolyte content
Figure 4. The influence of electrolyte on foaming and durability of the emulsion: (A) Electrolytes and
(B) NaCl contents
The electrolyte will reduce the solubility concentration of surface agents resulting in increased
adsorption at the interfaces [49]. The electrolytes will reduce the CMC because the electrolytes in the
detergent solution will prevent the formation of micelles, leading to a decrease in micelle concentration
and an increase in foam [50]. The influence of the electrolyte on the foaming and emulsifying time is
shown in Figure 4. It was found that the three electrolyte agents have a significant effect on foaming
and durability of the emulsion. The electrolyte is also a relatively important factor determining a
product base. Considering the foamability, foam durability results and the popularity of electrolytes,
NaCl is used as the main electrolyte [51]. NaCl and its compounds help increase the thickness and
viscosity of cosmetics, buffering and neutralizing acids found in personal and family care products
[52]. Performing further experiment with NaCl electrolyte at different NaCl contents resulted in the
highest foaming and durability of the emulsion at 0.521 and 21.49 minutes, respectively. Therefore,
use 0.1% NaCl content for the next survey experiment.

3.5. Effect of Lemongrass essential oil content
Figure 5. The effect of Lemongrass essential oil content on foaming and durability of the emulsion
The influence of lemongrass essential oil on the visual quality, foam and emulsion durability of the
product is shown in Figure 5. The foaming level and the durability of the emulsion achieved between
the contents showed only small differences. The most prominent foamability and durability (0.481 and
24.51 minutes) were achieved at the essential oil concentration of 0.2%. In terms of sensory
characteristics, the survey sample products have the scent of lemongrass essential oil and the scent
gets intensified with increasing amount of added essential oil. However, the higher the content of the
essential oil, the more likely it is that the sample will change in color over time. This is because of the
instability of Citral, accounting for more than 80% of the citronella oil content [53]. Citral is also easily
oxidized and denatured by external conditions such as light, heat. degrees, and pH, negatively affecting
the quality and preservability of the sample [54]. Figure 5 shows that samples of products containing
essential oils when stored at 45 °C after 20 days had the phenomenon of discoloration to pale yellow.
The discoloration was most evident at the essential oil content of 0.4% and 0.5%. Therefore, it is
necessary to add antioxidants to prevent the transformation process from occurring and to select the
content of 0.2% lemongrass essential oil for the next experimental survey.
3.6. Effect of antioxidant content
Figure 6. The effect of antioxidant content on foaming and durability of the emulsion: (A)
Antioxidants and (B) BHA contents
The influence of antioxidants and the content of antioxidants on product characteristics are shown
in Figures 6. The survey was conducted on two substances, BHT and BHA. BHT has the same
properties as BHA but is more heat resistant. However, BHT has a lower antioxidant effect than BHA

because the spatial structure of BHT is bulkier than BHA due to BHT molecule having 2 groups of
tert - butyl around the group - OH. Besides, when using BHT, the appearance of the product will be
opaquer than the background of sample using BHA. In terms of foaming and durability of the
emulsion, BHA (0.528 and 25.38 minutes) was superior to BHT (0.268 and 15.44 minutes). Therefore,
BHA was selected as the antioxidant agent for the next experiment evaluating the appropriate
antioxidant content in the product. The survey results shown in Figure 6b) show that at the 0.3% BHA
content, the foaming and the durability of the emulsion reached the highest value (0.485 and 23.416
minutes). Although the BHA content of 0.4% and 0.5% are better in preventing denaturation of
essential oils, the content of 0.3% has met the requirements of oxidation resistance, foaming, durability
time, color and scent of the product and would be selected for the final experiment.
3.7. Evaluate the impact of storage conditions on floor cleaning products
The influence of changing storage conditions on foaming and foam durability of floor cleaning
products is shown in Figure 7. The results indicated that, heat shock and heated conditions did not
greatly affect the foaming and durability of the emulsion of the products, compared to the sample in
normal conditions. However, in terms of appearance, the accelerated sample showed a slight yellowing
after the tested storage time due to oxidation of essential oil. Foamability and foam durability of
samples stored under thermal shock conditions were not altered significantly.

4. Conclusions
Natural esential oils are favorably as a alternative fragrance for harmful synthetic ones in daily
products. In this study, lemongrass esential oil was used to formulate a floor cleaning product. By
varying different agents used and their contents, a complete formulation was determined. Main
ingredients of the cleaning product were selected as follows: 4.5% Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate
(SLES), Ethylendiamin Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA-2Na), 0.7% Coco Amido Propyl Betaine (CAPB),
1% Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), Sodium Benzoate, 0.3% Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), 0.1%
NaCl and 0.2% lemongrass essential oil. The obtained products were tested and evaluated based on
different quality indicators such as foamability, foam durability, discoloration effect of storage
conditions to ensure a product quality.

The insertion of circular economy principles into the essential oil (EO) production chain aims to reduce waste generation and make integral use of harvested plant material. Higher profits from integral use with reduced waste generation contribute to the eventual use of the EO value chain as an alternative to illicit crops in Colombia (mostly coca). In this study, Java-type citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) and palmarosa (C. martinii) plant materials were used in two consecutive processes to obtain EOs and extracts. The residual biomass after EO distillation was subjected to ultrasound-assisted hydroethanolic extraction to afford extracts that contained bioactive compounds. Citronella and palmarosa were distilled with typical EO yields (1.0 ± 0.1% for citronella; 0.41 ± 0.06% for palmarosa; n = 5) either through hydrodistillation assisted by microwave radiation or through steam distillation, and their composition (determined via GC/FID/MS analysis) and physicochemical parameters fell within their ISO standard specifications. The concentration of citronellal, the major compound of citronella oil, was 500 ± 152 mg/g. Geraniol, the main component of palmarosa oil, was found at 900 ± 55 mg/g. The citronella and palmarosa hydroalcoholic extracts (4–11% yield) were analyzed with UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS, which permitted the identification of 30 compounds, mainly C-glycosylated flavones and hydroxycinnamic acids. Both extracts had similar antioxidant activity values, evaluated using the ABTS+● and ORAC assays (110 ± 44 µmol Trolox®/g extract and 1300 ± 141 µmol Trolox®/g extract, respectively).

This study presents a chemometric study on agarwood (Aquilaria crassna) essential oils extracted from selected agarwood samples grown in various regions of Asia. Adopting gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique, it was revealed that essential oils, produced by hydrodistillation,constitutes mainly volatile aromatic compounds. Several major components are shared in all samples including dihydro-agarofuran-15-al, jinkoeremol, 10-epi-γ-eudesmol, agarospirol, valerianol, n-hexadecanoic acid, neopetasane and dihydrokaranone. Despite differences in composition, extraction yield and detected constituents found in analyzed samples, characteristic aromatic compounds were abundantly found in the Agarwood essential oil. These discrepancies could be due to cultivation season, climatic conditions and extraction methods. Unambiguous identification of components in agarwood essential oils thereby opens new potential in the application of high-value aromatic compounds in agarwood essential oil in cosmetic products, perfumes, and pharmaceuticals.

The present study aimed to extract seed oils and characterize the chemical composition, including fatty acid profiles, tocopherols, sterols, and total phenolics of oils and extracts from five Fabaceae seeds: Glycine soja, Vigna angularis, Phaseolus lunatus, Phaseolus vulgarisand, and Phaseolus coccineus. The composition and content of all substance layers in total lipids of the extracted seed oils from five Fabaceae species contain: polar lipid (PL), sterol (ST), diacylglycerol (DG), triacylglycerol (TG), free fatty acid (FFA), and hydrocarbon and wax (HC + W). Antioxidant activity determined by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method was also estimated. Among these examined samples, Phaseolus vulgarisand and Phaseolus coccineus seed oils showed high content of α-linolenic acid (59.39% and 49.38%, respectively). Linoleic acid was abundantly found in Vigna angularis (49.01%). Ferunic and caffeic acid, γ-tocopherol, and β-sistosterol were the main ingredients present in the species studied. The V. angularis seed extract displayed significant antioxidant activity.

Agarwood and agarwood essential oils are commodities with great commercial value. In Vietnam, the agarwood industry has been growing, with more than 10,000 ha of forest land reserved for the cultivation of Aquilaria crassna, an agarwood-producing tree. The aim of this study was to present a hydrodistillation process to recover agarwood essential oil and to compare chemical compositions of agarwood samples harvested from various locations in Vietnam. Three agarwood samples representing products from A. crassna trees cultivated in the provinces of Bac Giang and Khanh Hoa, and on the Phu Quoc island (Kien Giang province) of Vietnam were subjected to hydrodistillation, resulting in essential oil yields of 0.32%, 0.27%, and 0.25% (w/w), respectively. Using GC–MS analysis, a total of 44 volatile compounds were identified in the obtained oils. Most of the constituents were oxygenated sesquiterpenes and had been previously found in other agarwood oil samples. Notable compounds of other chemical classes were aromatics and fatty acids. The three oil samples showed a common volatile profile, which is characterized by the dominance of eremophilane, agarofurans, and eudesmane sesquiterpenes, while vetispirane and guaiane sesquiterpenes were found in smaller quantities. Desired compounds, such as neopetasane (7.47–8.29%), dihydrokaranone (2.63–3.59%), β-agarofuran (3.04–6.18%), and agarospirol (2.98–3.42%), were present in substantial quantities, suggesting that the essential oils could be commercialized as fragrant materials of high value.

This study presented a refining process and reported on fatty acid composition and the physicochemical properties of the oil from black soldier fly larvae (BSFL). Crude larvae oil was purified through four steps consisting of degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization. Optimum degumming conditions that give the highest phospholipid weight and oil consisted of water concentration of 7% (v/v), followed by addition of H2SO4 at a concentration of 0.5% (v/v). Optimum conditions for saponification that maximize saponification value and free fatty acid (FFA) value were 0.4 mg NaOH/100 g oil, 1 hour, and 80 °C of NaOH quantity, reaction time, and temperature, respectively. The oil was then dehydrated using 10 mg Na2SO4/g oil. The bleaching process that gives maximum oil yield consisted of activated carbon at concentration of 5% (w/w), followed by centrifugation at a speed of 5000 rpm (radius = 86 mm) for 30 min. The contents of lauric acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid in purified oil were 28.8%, 11.1%, and 0.4%, respectively. Physicochemical properties of the refined oil included viscosity of 96 ± 0.14 cP (measured at 20 °C), FFA value of 0.45 ± 0.017%, acid value of 0.9 ± 0.043 mg KOH g−1, saponification value of 215.78 mg KOH g−1, iodine value of 53.7 gI2/100 g, and peroxide index of 133 mEq kg−1.

In this study, the introduction of Origanum majorana L. essential oil into a polyamidoamine (PAMAM) G4.0 dendrimer was performed for creation of a potential nanocide against Phytophthora infestans. The characteristics of marjoram oil and PAMAM G4.0 was analyzed using transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The success of combining marjoram oil with PAMAM G4.0 was evaluated by FT-IR, TGA analysis, and the antifungal activity of this system was also investigated. The results showed that the antifungal activity of oil/PAMAM G4.0 was high and significantly higher than only PAMAM G4.0 or marjoram essential oil. These results indicated that the nanocide oil/PAMAM G4.0 helped strengthen and prolong the antifungal properties of the oil.

In this study, a series of hydrogels based on the physical adsorption between hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and colloidal silica nanoparticles (SNPs) were developed, and the effects of SNPs addition on the prepared gels were also investigated. The addition of SNPs into the HEC solution (1.0 wt%) induced gelation, and the gel strength was enhanced by increasing the SNPs concentration from 5 to 20 wt%, which was due to the formation of a denser gel network, as evidenced by SEM observations. Rheological tests suggested that the gelation temperature (T g ) was decreased with the increasing SNPs addition, and the gels exhibited slightly thermal hysteresis, with a temperature lag of 6–7 °C. However, when the SNPs concentration was above 21 wt%, a phase separation was observed. Furthermore, it was found that the addition of SNPs led to the intensified hydrogen bonds between the HEC molecules and the added SNPs, which may be the predominant factor governing the adsorption process. Overall, a facile method for hydrogel preparation was proposed in this study, and the gel properties were also systematically investigated. These results may provide useful information to the field of material science.
