INTRODUCTION
We are all familiar with the pleasant odours coming out from
flowers, spices and many trees. The essence or aromas of plants are due
term “essential oils” literally means “oils derived from the essence” of
plants. Essential oils are mainly used for their pleasant odours and
such as petroleum ether, benzene etc. Essential oils may occur in all parts of the
5
plant, but they are often concentrated in the seeds or flowers. They are
obtained from the plants by the process of steam distillation and extraction. The
of essential oils.

Experiment
To extract essential oil present in

➢ Elaichi(cardamom)
Ajma , Ajmodika and bishops weed. They are the tiny, cute, delicate and
the family of cumin and parsley. These seeds have been used since years
aroma, carom seeds are highly used for the Indian culinary.

Carom seeds are sharp and hot with the burning taste, that’s why
few seeds are enough to bring the flavor in any Indian recipe. Carom
carom seeds as they can be easily turned into powder form just by
Ajwain has strong, dominant and distinctive taste and flavor, that’s why
few seeds are enough to bring exotic fragrance to the vegetarian and
non-veg food.
The aroma and unique taste of ajwain is used for making various types of
They are specially used in different types of meat, snack recipes and dal
Soups, stocks and stews can be flavored with few seeds of ajwain.

Ajwain are highly incorporated for making various salad dressings and
an excellent choice for the digestive system. I am sure I don’t have to tell
culinary spice all over the world. You can also try a gargle with
Cardamon if you suffer with halitosis (bad breath). Why not try 1 drop

USES FOR CARDAMOM
1 Smoothies
Add some cardamom to fruit smoothies to give them an extra edge. It doesn’t
matter what flavor the basic smoothie is – in fact, the more exotic the better.
2 Fruit loaves
If you want to jazz up your banana bread or add a bit of life to your tired fruit
loaf recipe, then a touch of ground cardamom will make a world of difference.
Just add the spice when you are mixing in the rest of the dry ingredients and
you will get a lovely warm, rich flavor from the finished loaf.
3 Bread
As with fruit loaves, a sprinkling of cardamom will do wonders for your bread
rolls and loaves. Don’t worry about the cardamom turning savory breads into
sweet; the spice will just a hint of warmth to the flavor and you can add as
little or as much as you like, depending on taste.
4 Puddings
Many desserts benefit from the addition of cardamom – rice pudding works
especially well, but you could also try adding a little ground cardamom to ice
cream, set custards, yogurt, and baked fruit.
5 Casseroles
A few pods added to a casserole dish will give a lamb, chicken or vegetable
casserole an extra zing and makes a great entertaining or moving house meal.

REQUIREMENTS:-
Steam generator (Copper Vessel), round bottom flask (500 ml), conical
flask, condenser, glass tubes, iron stand, sand bath, separatory funnel,
Elaichi(Cardamom).
PROCEDURE:-
Set the apparatus as shown in the picture of Experimental Setup. The
generator and start heating to produce steam. In the round bottom flask
steam generator is passed through the round bottom flask. A part of the
steam condenses in the round bottom flask. As more and more steam is

collected in the receiver. The contents in the round bottom flask may be
extracts in a 250 ml conical flask and dry it with the help of anhydrous
sodium sulphate. Remove the solvent from the dried filtrate by careful
distillation flask. Find the weight of the extracted essential oil. Note the

ELAICHI(CARDAMOM)”
Precautions
• If you accidentally spill essential oils – Clean any spillage with an absorbent
• If you accidentally get essential oils in your eye – Flush with copious amounts
of MILK for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
• If you accidentally swallow essential oils – Rinse mouth with MILK and seek
medical attention.
• Handling – Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling. Respect good personal

• Do not take internally. If pregnant seek medical advice before using.
• Storage – Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Always
use original containers. Avoid contact with polished surfaces and plastic.
