Influence of Sample Preparation and Extraction Time on Chemical Composition of Steam Distillation Derived Patchouli Oil

Patchouli or Pogostemon Cablin (Blanco) Benth is one of the species of essential oil plant. In Malaysia, patchouli is commonly known as’nilam’. It is widely appreciated because of its value in medicine, toiletries, perfumery and insecticides. Aromatic oils and their compounds have very good demand i...
