The Extraction Of Essential Oil From Red Pepper (Capsicum Annum), Formulation And Production Of Perfume From The Extract
ABSTRACT
The objectives of this
project were to extract essential oil from red pepper (Capsicum annum) using
three different methods and to determine which method yielded more quantity of
oil and also to produce a perfume from the extracts. The whole fruit of red pepper
was used in the extraction and the extraction by hot method using n-hexane as
solvent was found to yield more in percent yield than the other methods of
extraction such as cold method using n-hexane as solvent and the
hydrodistillation methods (Fernández-Ronco et al., 2010). The extracts from the
three methods have properties within acceptable standards as shown by Kayla et
al., (2006) and Raimi et al., (2014). A light classic perfume was produced from
the extracts which was in line with similar work done by Raimi et al., (2014).
