    INTRODUCTION
    An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma

    compounds from plants. They are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea etc.

    Essential oils are made up of highly

    numerous plant species. Distillation based

    AIM
    Extraction of essential oils present in

    Saunf(Aniseed), Ajwain(Carcum) and

    Illaichi(Cardamom)

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 6


    ANISEED OIL
    (SAUNF)
    Common Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation

    Color: Clear

    Aromatic Description:Distinctive scent of licorice. Rich and sweet.

    Constituents: a-pinene, camphene, B-pinene, linalool, cis-anethole, trans-

    anethole, safrole, anisaldehyde, acetoanisole.

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 7


    Uses:

    • In aromatherapy, aniseed essential oil is used to treat colds and flu.

    • Aniseed oil can be made into a liquid scent and is used for both hunting and

    fishing. It is put on fishing lures to attract fish.

    • Anethole, the principal component of anise oil, is a precursor that can

    eventually produce 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde which is can be used in the

    clandestine synthesis of psychedelic drugs such as 2C-B, 2C-I and DOB.

    • Oil of aniseed is also reported to be used as an aromatic carminative to

    relieve flatulence, and as an ingredient of cough lozenges in combination with

    liquorice.

    • Essential oil is also used externally as an insecticide against small insects such

    as head lice, mites and vermin. It also has fungicidal properties.

    CAROM OIL(AJWAIN)

    Extraction:

    Ajwain oil is extracted from the crushed seeds of ajwain by the method of

    steam distillation.

    Chemical composition:

    The main constituents of the ajwain oil are thymol, gamma-terpinene,

    pcymene, and beta-pinene. Alpha-pinene, alpha-thujene, beta-myrcene, carvacrol,

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 9


    limonene, and terpinene-4-ol.There are variations in the composition of ajwain oils

    depending upon the region where it is cultivated.

    For instance, ajwain oil collected from Southern India is rich in thymol.

    Uses:

    • Skin Ailments: Ajwain can help with pimples.

    • Digestive Aid:One can treat indigestion, ulcers, and various other bacterial

    infections of the gut with ajwain seeds and essential oil.

    • Aromatherapy: Useful in aromatherapy, ajwain oil offers calming sensations

    that relieves neuralgia and migraines.

    CARDAMOM OIL
    (ILLAICHI)
    Extraction:

    Cardamom oil is extracted using steam distillation method. For this, seeds of

    the fruit are used just before they ripe. The yield through this process is normally 1

    to 5 per cent.

    Chemical Composition:

    Cardamom oil contains sabinene, myrcene, a-pinene, b-pinene, aphellandrene,

    limonene, p-cymene, terpinolene, 1,8-cineole, y-terpinene, linalool, linalyl acetate,

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 11


    a-terpineol acetate, citronellol, nerol, terpinen-4-oil, aterpineol, geraniol, methyl

    eugenol and trans-nerolidol.

    Uses: Cardamom oil has a vast range of usage for treatment of sciatica,

    coughs, abdominal pains, spasm and nervous disorders. Traditionally, it is used for

    pulmonary disease, fever, digestive and urinary problems in India and China for over

    3000 years. It is also used to flavour pharmaceutical products. Apart from

    pharmaceutical usage, cardamom oil is also used as a fragrant in soaps, perfumes

    and cosmetic products.

    EXPERIMENT
    Materials Required:
    • Steam generator (Copper Vessel)
    • round bottom flask (500 ml),
    • conical flask
    • Condenser
    • glass tubes
    • iron stand
    • sand bath
    • separatory funnel
    • tripod stands

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 12


    • burners
    • Ajwain(Carum)
    • Petroleum ether(60-80°C)
    • Saunf(Aniseed)

    Procedure:
    1.Set the apparatus as shown in the picture of Experimental Setup. The
    apparatus consists of a steam generator connected to the round
    bottom flask through a glass inlet tube. The flask is connected to a
    water condenser through a glass outlet tube.
    Condenser is further attached to a receiver through an adaptor.
    2.Take about 750ml of water in the steam generator and start heating
    to produce steam.
    3.In the round bottom flask take about 75g of crushed saunf(aniseed).
    4.A vigorous current of steam from steam generator is passed
    through the round bottom flask.
    5.A part of the steam condenses in
    the round bottom flask. As more
    and more steam is passed, the
    steam volatile components of
    saunf pass through condenser
    along with steam. These contents
    on condensation are collected in the receiver.

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 13


    6.The contents in the round bottom flask may be heated by a bunsen
    burner to prevent excessive condensation of steam.
    7.The process of steam distillation is continued for about half an hour.
    8.Transfer the distillate to a separating funnel and extract with 20ml
    portions of petroleum ether 3 times.
    9.Combine the petroleum ether extracts in a 250ml conical flask and
    dry it with the help of anhydrous sodium sulphate.
    10.Remove the solvent from the dried filtrate by careful distillation in
    a water bath. The essential oil is left behind in the distillation flask.
    11.Find the weight of the extracted essential oil. Note the colour,
    odour and weight of the essential oil.

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 14


    Observations:
    1.Saunf(Aniseed):
    Weight of Saunf taken= 100g
    Initial weight of the bottle= 10g(x)
    Weight of bottle+essential oil= 11.25g(y)
    Weight of essential extracted= (y-x)= 1.25g
    Percentage of essential oil=(y/100)*100=1.25%
    Colour of the oil= Colourless
    Odour of the oil= saunf like smell

    2. Ajwain(Carum):
    Weight of Saunf taken=75g
    Initial Weight of the bottle=10g(x)
    Weight of the bottle+essential oil=11g(y)
    Weight of essential oil extracted=(y-x)=1g
    Percentage of essential oil= (y/75)*100=1.33%
    Colour of the oil= colourless Odour of
    the oil= Ajwain like smell

    CHEMISTRY PROJECT - EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS 15


    RESULT:
    Essential oils present in aniseed, carum and cardamom are extracted
    from this method.
