ABSTRACT:

In this study, ultrasonic cavitation was used for cellular destruction and homogenization. The energy of the ultrasonic waves can cause severe compressive waves in the fluid environment; giving rise to its flow and the formation of micro-bubbles under proper conditions. The growth and combining of these micro-bubbles up to their maximum size and their final burst can result in a high amount of heat. Ultrasonic waves were used to extract the effective pharmaceutical agents of thyme and Eucalyptus The non-edible grade Thyme and Eucalyptus oils were evaluated by gas chromatography.
