Review on Biological Properties of Cymbopogon Citratus
Abstract: Lemongrass, Cymbopogon citratus (Poaceae-Gramineae), is an important source of ethnomedicines as well as citral, the primary component of Cymbopogon citratus, which is used in the cosmetic perfumery, and pharmaceutical industries for pathogen control. The word "lemon" comes from the aroma of the plant, which is mostly accountable to the existence of citral, a cyclic monoterpene. Initial research on lemongrass extracts (tea) may have disclosed inconsistent pieces of evidence; however, the …

The Positive Significance of Cymbopogon citratus (Lemon Grass) in Remediation of Crude Oil in the Environment of Soil
Abstract: The effectiveness of using lemon grass in the remediation of soil contaminated by crude oil was investigated. The material investigated is lemon grass and the potential in terms of performance was monitored with biokinetic parameters evaluation. Six samples of 1000g of soil each were polluted with 100 ml of raw crude oil. The samples were later amended with dosage of 20g, 40g, 60g, 80g and 100g of dried lemon grass …

Evaluation of Anti-Oxidant Properties of Lemon Grass Essential Oil in Inhibiting Corrosion of Mild Steel
Abstract: Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation method, using all glass Clevenger apparatus. The essential oil obtained was used as inhibitor (anti-oxidant) to inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in acid and alkaline media. Samples of mild steel were exposed to acid and alkaline media in the absence of inhibitor and their corrosion rates were evaluated. Subsequently, other samples of the same mild steel were exposed to …
