Kaedah penyulingan telah digunakan bagi mengekstrak minyak pati dari limau nipis (Citrus aurantifolia Swing) dan limau kasturi (Citrus microcarpa Bunge). Kajian di peringkat makmal dengan kaedah penyulingan air telah dijalankan bagi menganggar peratus minyak yang sebenarnya terdapat dalam limau nipis dan limau kasturi. Dari kajian ini didapati limau nipis dan limau kasturi masing-masing mengandungi 0.28% dan 0.21 % minyak. Dari data analisa sifat-sifat fizikal pula, didapati minyak pati ini memberikan hasil-hasil yang hampir setanding dengan nilai-nilai spesifikasi piawai. Steam distillation technique was used to extract essential oil from Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swing) and kalamansi (Citrus microcarpa Bunge). The laboratory scale steam distillations were carried out to estimate the oil contents in both Citrus spp. It was found that the oil contents in Key lime and kalamansi were 0.28 and 0.21% respectively. And from analytical data, the properties of both oils were at par with the standard specifications.
