Author(s): Dwi Shavira Marlin, Andri Cahyo Kumoro and Ahmad Fauzan
Abstract: Sapu-sapu (Baeckea frutescens L.) is a medicinal plant broadly recognized for its essential oils, which contain diverse volatile compounds. Various extraction techniques have been employed to obtain these oils, ranging from conventional techniques, namely steam distillation and hydrodistillation to the advanced ones, including the enzymatic, ultrasound- and microwave-assisted extraction techniques. Depending on the technique applied, extraction time, and geographical origin, the yield obtained varies from 0.0037 - 2.28%. The most commonly identified compounds in the essential oil derived from the Sapu-sapu plant are α-pinene, β-pinene, 1,8-cineole, p-cymene, linalool, and caryophyllene. Recent findings reveal that the hybrid and assisted extraction methods result in improved efficiency and selectivity. This review elaborates on the extraction strategies, yield variations, and chemical profiles of Baeckea frutescens L. essential oils, supporting future research and industrial applications.
