Ferula hermonis Boiss in spite of being used for many purposes , it does not have adequate studies.
In this research two methods for preserving the chloroform extract in the
roots of the Ferula hermonis were studied. The first one is summarized in
putting the roots in refrigerators, and the second one is the freez drying of the
roots.
The resul
ts of the experiment have shown that the percentage of waste of the
chloroform extract increased considerably in the first method with the increase
of the time of preservation, whereas in the case of freeze drying method, the
percentage of the waste of the chloroform extract was relatively low compared
to the first method. We think that this method (freeze drying) is practical for
the preservation of the chloroform extract, which expresses the active material
in the ferula hermonis roots, and can be considered as cost – effective as far as
the exploitation of these roots is concerned.
