Description

Yanfei Cheng and co-authors extract two prized compounds from pandan leaves in a 2024 study. Pandan holds squalene, valued for antioxidant and sugar related traits, and a scent compound that gives the leaf its aroma. Drying method, solvent, and extraction settings all sway the yield. Ultrasound helped pull the compounds out.

Hot air dried leaves, worked with a two solvent mix, gave the best squalene yield while keeping scent levels fair. A structured design then tuned the process further. Natural sources for squalene matter as demand grows in food and cosmetics. The study hands producers a tested recipe rather than folklore.
