Popis: Water distillation is commonly used for obtaining essential oils from aromatic herbs. In the present work Clevenger apparatus is applied to obtain essential oil from Syzygium aromaticum L. Clevenger extraction represents an environmentally method for oil herb extraction as it employs water as solvent during the distillation process. Essential oils are highly valued. They are traditionally used in medicines and health remedies. The purpose of the present work is to obtain essential oil from clove plant and subsequently indentify the chemical composition by means of spectroscopic techniques. Essential oil samples were analyzed by spectroscopic techniques FTIR spectroscopy and UV-Vis. spectrophotometer. Both techniques indicated presence of eugenol as main chemical component in the oil of clove in excellent agreement with reported literature data.
