Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Rev& Res - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Coriandrum sativum Linn [Family Apiceae] is a medicinal herb used in the treatment of various disease and disorders. The present investigation was carried out to determine the change in the oil composition of the C.sativum fruits by two different method of extraction Viz., Soxhlation and maceration using GC-MS technique. The analysis revealed that by soxhlation method, a total of 34 compounds were obtained with major constituents as 9-E- octadecenoic acid [38.55%] and hexadecanoic acid[24.63%] whereas maceration method yielded 31 compounds with major constituents as Octadecanoic acid[25.89%] and hexadecanoic acid [20.18%]. The analysis concludes that soxhlation method is better than maceration technique. 9-E- octadecenoic acid [Oleic acid] is widely used in the Pharmaceutical industry. Coriandrum sativum can act as source for Oleic acid and soxhlation method can be used to extract it from the fruit.
