Abstract: MARGES, AILEEN ROMANES, Cavite state University Indang, Cavite, April 1999, "EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ESSENTIAL on, FROM THE RHIZOMES OF MUTHA (Cyperus rotundus Linn.)." Adviser: Emil L. Escalante This study was conducted in the Physical Science Instrumentation Room, Physical Science Department, College of Arts and Sciences, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite and at the Chemicals and Mineral Division, Industrial Technology Development Institute, Department- of Science and Technology, Bicutan, Taguig Metro Manila from November 1998 to March 1999. This study aimed to extract and characterize the essential oil from mutha rhizomes. The slightly viscous oil with light yellowish color was obtained from the rhizomes of Mutha by hydro distillation. The oil yield of air-dried rhizomes was 0.115% and found to be soluble in 80% ethanol. The physical and chemical properties determined for the clear oil are as follows; specific gravity at 2500 = 0.7333; refractive index at 2000 = 1.5109; acid value = 1.64; saponification value = 28.45; ester value = 26.81. Thin layer chromatography of the oil as carried out on precoated silica gel 60 F254 plate with toluene, ethyl acetate (93:7) as mobile phase and visualized using iodine crystals indicated the presence of limonene, phellandrene, terpineol, eugenol and methyl heptanone. The oil may further be tested as a substitute in the preparation of medicine and soaps based on the components of mutha oil taken using thin layer chromatography.
