In this paper, microwave-assisted hydro-distillation (MAHD) of essential oils from the lemon ( Citrus aurantifolia ) leaves was attempted and optimized. Optimization of MAHD was performed by using response surface methodology. In the optimization, selected parameters consisted of water and material ratio, microwave power and extraction time were. It is also indicated that quadratic polynomial model could be employed to optimize the microwave extraction of essential oil from Lemon ( Citrus aurantifolia ) leaves. The optimal extraction conditions included microwave power of 523.89W, water to material ratio of 3.27 mL/g, and extraction time of 84.47 minutes. The optimized yield (0.76%) approached predicted yield predicted by the model, implying that the model is suitable to predict behavior of the process.
