Abstract
Plants are natural resource with a perfect structure that can meet many needs of people and show diversity since hundreds of years. All over the world and in our country, plants have been used for a long time in the preparation of tea, spices, perfumes, ointments and medicines used in the treatment of diseases. Essential oils arelarge group of biologically active compounds contained in plants. In the article, the process of extracting essential oil from the juniper plant (Juniperus communis L.) at different yields was studied. Juniper fruit 200.47 g; 200.28 g; when 200.54 g, the average amount of essential oil according to wet raw material was determined to be 1.2±1.4%. The composition of the essential oil obtained from juniper fruit, rich in biologically active substances and important for treatment, was studied by physicochemical methods (chromatographic, Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) spectroscopic). In the chromatogram of the essential oil, it was determined that there is a peak of monoterpenoids with a tricyclic structure. Absorption bands obtained as a result of spectral analysis ensure the correctness of the composition of the synthesized essential oil. On the basis of medicinal properties of the juniper plant (Juniperus communis L.), the obtained essential oil can be used in medicine and cosmetology in the preparation of ointments and lotions with various ingredients.
