CHEMICAL COMPARISON STUDY OF THE VOLATILE OIL COMPONENTS IN ANISEEDS WHICH ARE SPREAD IN SYRIAN ENVIRONMENT

Dr. Anas Rajab*

ABSTRACT

Aniseed volatile oil was extracted from Pimpinella Anisium L. seed collected from (Aleppo, Damascus and Homs Countrysides) fields in Syria by hexane. Aniseed volatile oil component was identified qualitatively and quantitatively using gas chromatography GC and compared with standards. The components from different aniseed volatile oils were corresponded qualitatively. The aniseed volatile oil was chromatographed on column. Anethole and anisaldehyde were isolated and charachtarized using available spectra such: IR, UV, 1H-NMR and MS, also the physical and chemical properities were determined.

Keywords: Aniseed, gas chromatography, extraction, mobile phase, and isolated product.
