Due to the economical and medical importance of the Melilotus plant and the wide
distribution of this plant in the Syria environment, it was of necessity to study the the
composition of organic matter extracted from the leaves of this plant.
The M
elilotus Officinal organic matter was extracted and purified their where were studied
by GC-Maas spectrometry.
The organic matter was obtained by Soxhlet extractor and by solvent n-Hexane.
Components have been found which was about (99.91%) from the total of Essential Oil.
The major components were extracted by Soxhlet extractor and the following components
were determined : n-Docosane(39.82%) , Hydrocoumarin(15.39%) ,
Methyl 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propionate(14.29%).
The major components were determined by solvent n-Hexane:
1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid(17.77%) , 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid(12.85%)
The effects of the extracted aromatic oil from the leaves of Melilotus plant on some of
Pathogenic Microorganisms were studied.
