Abstract

In this study, fixed oils of Laurus nobilis L. fruit were obtained by solvent extraction (Soxhlet method). Effects of solvent (hexane, petroleum ether, carbondisulfide and benzen) and particle size extraction yield were investigated. Fatty acids composition of the fixed oil was determined by using GC/MS method. Volatile oils isolated by hydrodistillation (Clevenger apparatus) from the dried leaves of Laurus nobilis L.. were analyzed by GC, and main components were identified.
