RETRACTED: Microwave hydrodistillation for extraction of essential oil from Pogostemon cablin Benth: Analysis and modelling of extraction kinetics

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in “Separation and Purification Technology” 54 (2007) 253-261 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2006.09.015. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. As such this article represents an abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
