This RIRDC report presents data that has commercial application for increasing commercial possibilities and efficiencies through post-harvest handling and processing of high value, low-volume boronia product. A process is defined for recovery of volatiles that are present in the waste stream as either free volatiles or bound to sugars.
This report is targeted specifically to the boronia industry and more generally to the Australian essential oils industry as the technology developed here has a broader application to other crops.
