Effect Of Two Kinds Of Solvent On Chemical Composition Of Cymbopogon Citratus Oil
Abstract
The trial was designed to determine the effect of two different detergent( N- hexane and petroleum ether) on chemical composition of lemongrass oil painting. The oil painting was uprooted from lemongrass using N- hexane and petroleum ether using soxhlet birth system. The chemical composition of essential oil painting attained were assay using GC- MS machine. The result shows4.4 of oil painting were attained from lemongrass using N- hexane and4.9 were attained using petroleum ether. The composition analysed by GC- MS Machine were16.52 of Trimethyl( 4-( 2- methyl-4-oxo-2pentyl)) phenoxysilane,4.15 acetamide,6.54 hexamethyl,6.58 silane and 2, 4, 6- cycloheptatrien-1-one with peak area of8.67 in both detergent. But the chemical element present in lemongrass is advanced using petroleum ether compared to that of N-hexane.This indicated that petroleum ether is much better in oil painting birth and analyizing chemical ingredients of lemongrass.

Preface
Lemongrass( Cymbogoncitratus) is a factory from the lawn family which contained about 1- 2 essential oil painting in a dry weight base. The essential oil painting is characterized by a high content of citral constituted with the isomers neral and geranial, which is used as a raw material for the product of iodine, vitamin A and b- carotene( Dhobi etal., 2010).
The essential oil painting of lemongrass is important in perfumery assiduity since it blends well with a great variety of essential oil painting( Carlson etal., 2001). The tea made from lemongrass leaves is used as antispasmodic, analgesic,anti-inflammatory antiphretic, diuretic and opiate( Carlini etal., 1986). Lemongrass is a perential sedge throwing up thick fascilles of leaves from a short rhizome( Baser etal., 2010). The culm is south, erect up to 8 cadence high. Leaves are long glaucous, green, having a strong flavor used as a condiment for seasoning and nonentity repellent( Musa etal., 2013). It’s a factory, looking much like a veritably altitudinous patch of lawn that does n’t frequently produce flower( Burt, 2004). At the base of each group of leaves there’s a fat stalk, analogous to a spring onion bulb. The overall factory is made up of big cluster of these individual stalk used for utmost cuisine purposes, but the rest of the leaves can be used as well( Christina etal., 2010). Not only is the tea veritably salty in flavor it can also help settle worried tummies and ease cough. The canvases in lemongrass have a number of homeopathies health uses. Though utmost home farmers don’t prize the essential oil painting, from their factory but substantially used as a seasoning( Wani etal., 2008). ABSTRACT
