Extraction and Characterization of some active Organic compounds from Breckland thyme plant.

Abstract

This study focused on diagnosis of volatile oil extracted from Breckland thyme leaves plant by aqueous solvent by Reflux method. Thin layer chromatography was used to separate some active organic compounds from Breckland thyme leaves oil. (Toluene:Ethyl acetate) (5:95) used in Thin layer chromatography as eluent. Results showed 5 spots, 4 spots were characterized by different spectroscopic methods qualitative and quantitive UV–VIS.,IR, 1H-NMR Spectra beside other analytical method gas chromatography (G.C). Results indicate that the 14 compound in A very small percentage four of that following compounds, Carvacrol, p-Cymene, Camphor and thymol are present in the following percent, 23.7, 10.44, 0.945, 19.77 respectively in Breckland thyme oil leaves and unknown compounds in Breckland thyme plant.
