(Received: October 20, 2004 ; Accepted: February 13, 2005) Abstract - Piper hispidinervium C.DC (Piperaceae) is popularly known as long pepper. It grows in degraded areas of natural fields in the state of Acre, Brazil. Its leaves are 3 to 4 % essential oil rich in safrole, within the range of 90 to 94 %. In the chemical industry, safrole is an important raw material, mainly due to two of its derivatives: heliotropin, which is widely used as a fragrance and flavoring agent, and piperonyl butoxide (PBO), a vital ingredient of pyrethroid insecticides. Natural pyrethrum in particular would not be an economical insecticide without the synergistic effect of PBO; therefore, its industrial future is linked to the continued availability of PBO. As a fragrance, safrole has many applications in household products such as floor waxes, polishes, soaps, detergents and cleaning agents. In this work, leaves were dried in a fixed-bed dryer using different drying-air temperatures (35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 ºC) and drying times (900, 2700 and 3600 seconds). Essential oil was extracted by cohobation (meaning that the condensed water that comes out of the flask is recycled) from both raw and dried leaves. The essential oil yield and safrole content are susceptible to rapid loss of moisture by Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves. It was observed that the essential oil yield increased twice after the drying process. However, safrole content decreased about 20 percent when temperature was above 50 ºC and drying times were more than 2700 minutes. Keywords: Long pepper; Drying kinetics; Safrole. INTRODUCTION Piper hispidinervium C.DC (long pepper) is rich in essential oil containing safrole (up to 90 %), a volatile constituent. Safrole is converted by the chemical industry into two important derivatives: heliotropin, which is widely used as a fragrance and flavoring agent, and piperonyl butoxide (PBO), a vital ingredient in pyrethroid insecticides. This aromatic plant offers excellent conditions for cultivation in areas with facilities for harvest, transport and industrialization (Chaves, 1994). A study has been carried out at several sites in Brazil using both rooted cuttings and seedlings to provide information on both growth characteristics and biomass yield (leaf + stem) under various planting and management regimes (Rocha and Ming, 1999).

2 258 N. P. Braga, M. A. Cremasco and R. C. C. R. Valle aromatic plant has been estimated at about 1300 tons. Essential oil is extracted from the fresh leaves of Piper hispidinervium C. DC by steam distillation. Before extraction, the leaves are dried to remove high-level moisture. In aromatic plants, like Piper hispidinervium C. DC, many interesting compounds are lost during drying. This is explained by the high moisture, in the leaves, oil glands at the beginning of drying. This moisture moves by diffusion to the leaf surfaces and drags essential oil with it. The proposed mechanism explains the loss of aromatic compounds (Cremasco, 2003). The aim of this research was to study the effect of fixed-bed drying on the yield and composition of essential oil from Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves. MATERIALS AND METHODS Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves were dried and the essential oil extracted at the Department of Thermo-Fluid-Dynamics (DTF), School of Chemical Engineering, State University of Campinas (Unicamp). The gas chromatograph analysis of the essential oil were done at the Emílio Goeldi Museum Laboratory in Pará (MPEG), Brazil. Materials Fresh Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves used in the drying and extraction runs came from a natural reserve at the Regional University of Blumenau, in the Brazilian South. Piper hispidinervium is native of Acre in northern Brazil, which has the smallest production, but the highest safrole content in the essential oil. Leaves were sampled in an aleatory way. The fresh leaves were transported by plane and dried immediately after arrival. The remaining materials were stored in a refrigerator at 20 ºC. The physical and thermal properties of Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Physical and thermal properties of Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves (Cremasco, 2003).

DC leaves were dried in a system insulated with rock wool and corrugated aluminum. The air was heated electrically with four 400 W resistances. A type T thermocouple controlled air temperature at the inlet of the dryer. A centrifugal blower supplied air to the drying bed. Air flow rates were controlled by two valves and measured with a Pitot tube. The dryer was connected to a data acquisition system, as shown in Figure 1. The acquisition system was used to obtain data on dry bulb and wet bulb temperature over time. These data were later used for calculation of the air moisture content at the dryer s inlet and outlet. The moisture content was measured by weighing the leaves during drying using an external balance connected to a basket within the dryer chamber. Two psychrometers were placed at the inlet and the outlet of the dryer in order to measure the absolute humidity of the drying air. They were connected to a vacuum pump to guarantee a dryingair velocity over 3 m/s to apply the wet bulb theory and, consequently, the determination of air humidity at the dryer inlet and outlet. The extraction was done in a Clevenger MA553 distiller with a capacity of L (Figure 2). The mass of Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves used in the extraction was weighed on an analytical balance, BG400 Gehaka, accurately to 10-6 kg. After extraction, the essential oil was mixed with water. As the oil is denser than water, it was easily separated by gravity. Residual water was removed by centrifugation (Centribio, model 80-23) and the oil was stored in a refrigerator at 5 ºC until analyzed by gas chromatography. Experimental Procedure The air was initially heated and its temperature was measured with a thermopar in the air feed line, in which there was one psychrometer. After dryingair temperature had become a stable, the leaves were arranged vertically in a basket in the drying bed. The Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering
3 The Effects of Fixed-Bed Drying 259 moisture loss was monitored at 300 second interval, as described above. The drying time was 3600 seconds. The initial moisture was determined in samples before the start of drying. Both fresh and dry leaves were used in the. The mass of Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves and distilled water used in the extractions were kg and L, respectively. Essential oil yield and safrole content were determined before and after drying. The safrole content was analyzed using an HP gas chromatograph fitted with a DB-5 column (fused silica capillary) 30 m long and with a 0.25 µm film thickness. The column was operated at a heating rate of 3ºC/min, starting at 60 ºC and ending at 240 ºC. The injector and detector (FID) temperatures were 200 ºC and 250 ºC, respectively. The split-splitless method was used. The analysis used 2.0 µl of essential oil solubilized in 1 ml of n-hexane. The essential oil yield, expressed as the ratio of mass of oil distilled from fresh leaves before drying to mass of fresh leaves, is given by Equation (1). mo Rd (%wb) = 100 (1) m fl Drying-air flow control valve. 2.

4 260 N. P. Braga, M. A. Cremasco and R. C. C. R. Valle RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This section analyzes the change in essential oil yield and safrole content as a function of drying-air temperature, wet load, drying-air velocity and drying time. Experimental conditions are given in Table 2. Figure 3.1 shows experimental results for the drying kinetics curves over time expressed in kg of water/kg of dry material as functions of drying-air temperature. The drying-air velocity was kept at 0.56 m/s and the wet load was kg. The results indicated that the curves at 35 and 40 ºC and at 45, 50 and 55 ºC were practically identical. This behavior might be due to different initial conditions. However, the drying-air temperature affected the increase in drying rate. Figure 3.2 shows the effect of wet load, with a drying time of 3600 seconds, a drying-air temperature of 50 ºC and a drying-air velocity of 0.56 cm/s. These studies corroborate results found in a previous study (Cremasco, 2002), which showed that high temperatures and low loads increased the drying kinetics. Therefore, the smaller the material load, the smaller is the amount of energy necessary for the process. Table 2: Experimental conditions used in this work. Experiments n. Temperature (ºC) Wet load (kg) Air Velocity (m/s) Time (s) Figure 3.1: The effect of air temperature on the drying kinetics of Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves. Figure 3.2: The effect of material load on the drying kinetics of Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves. The essential oil yield of the wet leaves is between 0.2 % and 1.3 %, which is well below the values of between 2.5 % and 4.5 % found in the literature (Costa, 1999). This may be associated with two factors: the seeds of the planted species and the collected material used in this study both had a low essential oil yield. The best procedure would be to collect parts of the plant, and not to plant seeds directly into the soil. The presence of an emulsion, which is detrimental to the extractor reading, was observed. Under the same operating conditions as those employed in the experiments presented in Figure 3.1, the effect of the drying-air temperature on the essential oil yield of the Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering
5 The Effects of Fixed-Bed Drying 261 Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves is shown in Figure 3.3. Within the range of the parameters used in this work, for temperatures up to about 50 ºC, essential oil yield practically doubled after drying; the increase is smaller above this temperature. The effect of material load, under the same operating conditions as those employed in the experiments presented in Figure 3.2, is shown in Figure 3.4. Even though this figure has only two points, it shows that the smaller the size of the load, the higher is the essential oil yield. This is related to the fact that more moisture is removed when one works with smaller loads, as indicated in Figure 3.2. However, it is not conclusive, as shown in Figure 3.3, that increasing the drying-air temperature decreases the essential oil yield. Another important parameter to be evaluated is the effect of drying residence time on the essential oil yield to evaluate the extent of the effect of moisture removal. The results are presented in Figure 3.5, which shows that this effect is practically negligible after 2700 seconds. To analyze the effect of drying on the safrole content of the essential oil, extraction from fresh leaves was carried out. The result was an average concentration (mass percentage) of 57 %, which is well below that reported in the literature (safrole content of 90 %) (Costa, 1999). Figure 3.6 shows the safrole content in the essential oil from dried leaves. Under the same operating conditions as those for the experiments in Figure 3.1, the safrole content decreases about 16 % when temperature increases from 35 ºC to 50 ºC, and then remains practically constant up to 60 ºC. A similar effect was found for the drying residence time. In other words, when the leaves are dried over a longer drying time, the safrole content decreases. Figure 3.7 shows that there is a significant decrease in safrole content up to 2700 seconds, when it practically levels off. Figure 3.3: The effect of drying-air temperature on essential oil yield.

CONCLUSIONS Essential oil yield and safrole content were affected by the removal of moisture from Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves. Under the operating conditions used in this report, drying results in a higher essential oil yield for temperatures up to 50 ºC. The essential oil yield practically increased twice after drying. For drying air temperatures above 50 ºC and drying residence times over 2700 seconds, safrole content decreased about 20%. For a stainless steel dryer with the dimensions used in this work, the following drying operating conditions are suggested to double the essential oil yield without lowering the safrole content: a) a wet load of kg of Piper hispidinervium C. DC leaves; b) a drying-air velocity of 0.56 m/s; c) a drying-air temperature of 45 ºC; d) a drying residence time of 900 seconds.
