Plant extracts have been widely used for their remarkable therapeutic properties; various researches have been undertaken to exploit such properties for application in modern medicine. The current work involves the extraction of anticancerous substance Chavicol from the betel leaves using the Soxhlet Apparatus. Soxhlet Extraction method was widely used for the essential oil extraction from plants. This method has the ability to preserve the original characteristics of the plants. Experimental observations indicated that the extract of Piper betle leaf consists of a wide variety of essential phytochemicals such as amino acids, carbohydrates, triterpinoids, and saponins etc., it was found that, keeping heating time as constant, the volume of essential oil produced can be increased. Chavicol was synthesized using ethanol at different temperatures. Minimum and maximum yield temperatures were determined. Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy were found to be the most appropriate method for identification of all the components of the oil even if present in smaller proportions. The essential oil thus extracted from plants using the lab scale Soxhlet Extraction method can be produced on large scale to include this as one of the ingredients for the manufacture various products like cosmetic lotions, hair rinses, soaps, body oils, room sprays and perfumes etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
