The present work focused on the application of ultrasound as a treatment prior to the microwave-assisted extraction of the essential oil of lemon peel (Citrus aurantifolia). The ultrasound temperature and time parameters that maximized the performance in the extraction of lemon essential oil were determined by applying the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using the Design Expert® DX7Trial / dX7 Software with a Composite Central Design. The ranges of the independent variables examined (factors) were identified by preliminary tests and by technical specifications of the ultrasonic equipment; the evaluated ultrasound time was from 1 min to 35 min and the ultrasound temperature was from 22ºC to 43ºC. Following the pretreatment, the essential oil was extracted with the Mycroware Gravity Station equipment at a power of 720 W for a period of 15 minutes. Through the response surface methodology, 11 treatments were obtained (three repetitions of the central point), which were adjusted to a third order polynomial equation, the results showed that the ultrasound time and temperature had a significant effect (p <0.05) in essential oil yield. It was determined that at a temperature of 25 ° C and a time of 22 minutes of ultrasound, the highest yield of essential oil was obtained, which was 2.56 percent (dry basis). The yield, as well as the physicochemical properties were compared with a standard (extraction only by microwaves without any pretreatment) (1.83 percent), and extraction by the conventional hydrodistillation method (1.92 percent). Gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS) was used to identify the essential oil compounds obtained by microwaves with ultrasound pretreatment. 51.82 percent of limonene was obtained, the most abundant compound in citrus essential oil.
