Isolation and Evaluation of Perfume from Flower of Tuberose (Polianthes Tuberosa)

Perfume is integrant part of not only today's generation but also from thousands of years.We tried to extract scent from tuberose flowers.There are many more methods to do essential oil extraction like solvent extraction, drying, leaching and steam distillation etc. but we obtained more percentage of essential oil from steam distillation.I used ethyl butyrate as a solvent for steam distillation.Then I formulate perfume from essential oil and methanol.I used sandal wood extract for fresh and unique scent.Then I characterize the functional group of perfume using IR Spectroscopy.
