Abstract

the purpose of the present study was a comparative study of the ability of some freons to extract the essential oil of the roots of C. longa L. and to provide optimal conditions for its analy-sis. The dried, crushed roots of C. longa L. were used as raw materials (country of origin - Uganda). Methoxynonafluorobu-tane (Novec 7100), fluoroketone and n-hexane were used as extractants. Method of gas-liquid chromatography with mass detection was used. The most efficient extractant for ar-tumerone and curlone, which proved to be methoxyno-nafluorobutane (Novec 7100). The results of the studies indi-cate the prospects of using freons as extracting agents for the extraction of essential oil from the roots of C. longa L. The pro-spect consists in a more effective extracting ability of orga-nofluorine solvents than n-hexane to increase the yield of both, the essential oil itself and the most pharmacologically relevant root components of C. longa L. - ar-tumerone and curlone.
