extraction of essential oils from trachyspermum ammi seeds via hydro-distillation method

In this study, the trachyspermun ammi (t# ammi) was evaluated for their medicinal benefits such as antioxidant, anti-asthma, anti-bloating, anti-diarrhea and treatment of abdominal tumors# essential oils (eos) were extracted from the seeds with using hydro-distillation (hd) method and clevenger apparatus# the amount of thymol present in the seeds and the influence of parameters such as particle size, thermal power and time was considered as the study targets# gas chromatography (gc) and gc-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) analyses were employed for the separation and identification of the components# thymol, as an indicator compound, had a yield of 59#20% compared to the other components#
