1) ABSTRACT:
Cinnamomum Zeylanicum is a very popular spice and very useful substances in medicines and food, said to be originated from the island Sri Lanka, southeast of India. The plant is also playing an important role in aromatherapy due to its chemical constituent and also its aroma and scent. It contains cinnamaldehyde, an aromatic compound that have a very pleasant smell

The aims of this research are to extract and obtain essential oils from Cinnamomum Zeylanicum using hydro distillation technique method, to analyze the chemical compound present in the essential oil using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GCMS), and effective parameters. The hydro distillation method is used to obtain the essential oil from Cinnamomum Zeylanicum by grinding the leaves into a fine powder, weighing and then extracted the essential oil by Hydro Distillation. Next, the sample will be analyzed by GS/MS technique after rotary evaporating to separate between oil and water, in order to determine the chemical composition in the bark of the plant. The percentage of essential oil yield is calculated as the weight of essential oils divided by the weight of bark powder. Then, the essential oil will be tested as aromatherapy oil by using sensory …show more content…
The worldwide market for essential oil growth rapidly. On top of that, nowadays a lot of scientific research presently focused on the industrial development together with environmental preservation. In this contact it is necessary to find the most appropriate technique or method to improve the quality of essential oil. Traditional extraction method used to obtain essential oil have several drawbacks which are longer time consuming, have low extraction yields, laborious, and higher operational costing. Furthermore this method utilizes large amounts of toxic solvent which will effects the environment.
2.3) Aim:
The aim of this project is to optimize the effective parameters in “Extraction of Cinnamaldehyde from Cinnamon Bark Using Hydro Distillation Method”. These will increase the productivity and reduce the of costs of manufacturing process.
2.4) OBJECTIVE:
The main objectives of this research
