ABSTRACT

Physico-chemical properties data are very important to control the quality of essential oil. The aim of this study was to analysis physicochemical properties of essential oil of Lantana camara.l leaf collected from and around Mekelle city, Ethiopia. Lantana Camara.L is used in traditional treatments to cure variety of diseases for many years in different countries. Acknowledging the importance of plants and its medicinal value, extraction of essential oil had been done using hydrodistillation method. The obtained moisture content was 57.50±0.01 %. The yield of essential oil obtained was 0.369±0.01. The oil from leaf of lantana Camara.L was optically active with result +11.5±0.00 @25oc. It was concluded that physico-chemical parameters that were analyzed can be used to determine the quality of essential oils.

Keywords: extraction, hydro distillation, lantana Camara.L physico-chemical.
