Synthesis, characterization, and optimization of antimicrobial biolubricant derived from Ocimum lamiifolium and lactic acid by Dereje Ayele Gebreyes, Melakuu Tesfaye Alemea, Alemu Gonfa Robi, Workiye Getnet Abera, Getachew Alemu Tenkolu

“…The extracted oil exhibited high yield (15 % moisture, 0.92 g/mL specific gravity), a volatile lubricant component (3 %), a pH of 4.2–5.91, low ash (11.5 %), high saponification value (19.7 g KOH/g) and moderate acid number (8.9 mg KOH/g), iodine value of 35.3 g/L, low viscosity (0.1160 Pa s), and high diffusion capacity (95 %). Chemical analysis using UV–Vis spectrophotometry was employed to identify the constituents present in the extract, while FTIR spectra indicated the presence of alcoholic and phenolic components, suggesting interactions with lactic acid. …”
