ABSTRACT:
The present work consisted of extraction, formulation of perfume from lemongrass leaves. The lemongrass oil was extracted by using solvent extraction method, Evaluation of extracted lemongrass oil was done on the basis of physicochemical parameters, such as color, odour, volatility, specific gravity, viscosity etc. The specific gravity and viscosity of oil was found to be 0.88 and 0.13 respectively. A fixative (Bezoin) and carrier solvent (Methanol) were used to create perfume using the extracted essential oil. The experiment was done to extract the highly concentrated essential oil from lemongrass, which is employed in the creation of perfumes. In conclusion, the scent of the perfume was created using lemon grass is sweet and pleasant.
