petroleum ether extraction were 0.4351 and 0.3510%, respectively. Characteristics of concretes from both solvents were light yellow wax and had strong odor. Hexane absolute was light yellow liquid and mild odor of frangipani. Petroleum ether absolute was deep yellow, had strong odor and was more similar to fresh flower than that from hexane.
The chemical identification of hexane absolutes and petroleum ether absolutes by GC-MS showed that major compound of both absolutes were benzyl salicylate (44.69 and 42.63%, respectively). In hexane absolute, 17 compounds were identified while 13compounds were deteced in petroleum ether absolute. (Fig 5,6 and Table 4,5).
