KINETIC MODEL FOR EXTRACTION OF EUGENOL FROM LEAVES OF OCIMUM SANCTUM LINN (TULSI)
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Applications - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Herbs are well known for their medicinal values and they are used for the same purpose since many years. Ocimum Sanctum Linn (Tulsi) is one of the common herbs for its various medicinal applications. Eugenol is the important ingredients found in tulsi. In this work, efforts have been made to extract eugenol by solvent extraction from tulsi leaves. The extracted samples were analysed with GC for determination of eugenol content. Kinetic model has been used to analyze the experimental data.
