Steam Distillation of Lemongrass Oil I. Introduction When a mixture of cyclohexane and toluene is distilled‚ the boiling point of these two miscible liquids is between the boiling points of each of the pure components. By contrast‚ if a mixture of benzene and water (Immiscible liquids) is distilled‚ the boiling point of the mixture will be found below the boiling point of each pure component. Since the two liquids are essentially insoluble in each other‚ the benzene molecules in a droplet of

Introduction: This experiment involves an extraction of a natural product using the techniques of steam distillation. The principle component of oil of cloves is an aromatic compound‚ which is identified by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Eugenol is widely used in dentistry‚ due to its analgesic‚ antiseptic balsamic qualities. It is ideal for curative for pulp hyperemia (the soft‚ sensitive substance underneath the enamel and dentine of a tooth) and pulp its. In dentistry eugenol is also used to

contribution of the cinnamon industry to the Sri Lankan economy and to the Sri Lankan agricultural trade. The Cinnamon industry makes a considerable contribution towards the export income generated from Agricultural plant products in Sri Lanka. The maturity of cinnamon plantation has resulted in a favorable export demand for Sri Lankan cinnamon products in the foreign market. The major product of the cinnamon plant is quills this brings seventy two percentage of exchange earning. The cinnamon bark products

more precious than gold‚ cinnamon is one of the world’s oldest known spices. Cinnamon is actually the brown bark of cinnamon trees. It is available in its dried tubular form known as a quill or as ground powder. The two varieties of cinnamon are Chinese and Ceylon. They have similar flavor but the cinnamon from Ceylon is sweeter‚ more refined‚ and more difficult to find in local markets. Cinnamon has a blood sugar control effect. If you season a high-carb food with cinnamon‚ it will help lower the

Isolation & Identification of the Major Constituent of Clove Oil with Steam Distillation The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to isolate and characterize clove oil in order to understand how to isolate organic compounds with high boiling points‚ how to perform and interpret qualitative tests for organic compound functionality‚ and to continue to learn how to perform and interpret IR spectrometry. Steam distillation was used in order to prevent the organic compound from decomposing

Abstract In the following project we are discussing about distillation. The operation of the distillation is employed for the purification of liquids from non-volatile impurities. The liquid is heated to the vapor phase and then is collected and recondensed to give back the pure liquid .The non-volatile impurities are left behind in the flask. Here our main focus will be at the fractional distillation. It is the process in which we separate the different components of a mixture on the basis of the

Reuven Ilyayev Lab Instructor: Maciej Domaradzki Labs 3 & 4 09/19/11 Objective: In steam distillation lab (lab 3)‚ we must obtain pure Eugenol from cloves through the process of steam distillation. In the crystallization lab (lab 4) part 1‚ we must acquire the best possible pure crystallization of acetylsalicylic acid from aspirin and in part 2 we must obtain a similar pure crystallization of benzil from an impure mixture of benzil. Materials: In lab 3‚ we used 75 g of cloves from

1 ABSTRACT Distillation is a process by which one liquid can be separated from another liquid‚ or a liquid from a nonvolatile solid. In this experiment‚ the distillations of cyclohexane and toluene mixture were carried out. The purpose of this experiment is to compare the efficiency of simple distillation versus fractional distillation for separation of a mixture of toluene and cyclohexane. The mixture was first separated using simple distillation. A simple distillation apparatus was set

Cloves by Steam Distillation and its Identification by Infrared Spectroscopy Eim A. Chemist CHEM 303 June 16‚ 2005 INTRODUCTION “Essential oils” are the volatile components associated with the aromas of many plants.1 In this experiment‚ the essential oil eugenol (the main component of oil of cloves) will be isolated from ground cloves using the technique of steam distillation‚ which is often used to isolate liquid natural products from plants.2 The principle of steam distillation is based

THE CINNAMON ROLL An Essay On a Pastry by Lauren K. Bennie Cinnamon buns! A truly delectable treat that makes the world spin 360 degrees. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like a good sticky bun in today’s society. And those who don’t are called hipsters and are generally hated. We don’t hate them just because of their cardigans and scarfs. No they think they’re better than everyone else and therefore are disliked widely. But back on topic‚ sticky buns are simply scrumptious. With the perfect
