ABSTRACT:
The method of extracting volatile oils from Commiphora molmol includes the steps of grinding up the Commiphora molmol plant; covering the ground up plant with a layer of water to create a mixture of plant and water; passing steam through the mixture of water and plant; condensing volatile oil from the steam in a condensing chamber; and, separating the layer of oil from the aqueous layer therebeneath.
The oil fractions can also be obtained by extracting myrrh powder using petroleum ether; and, evaporating the petroleum ether to obtain the oil fraction.
The method of extracting resins from commiphora molmol after volatile oils have been separated therefrom including the steps of treating the myrrh powder with alcohol; evaporating the alcohol extract; precipitating the resin collected; washing the resin; and, drying the resin. Alternatively, the myrrh powder can be treated with myrrh powder with petroleum ether; extracting the ether with methanol; and, evaporating the methanol to obtain a resin fraction. The oleogum-resin obtained is useful as an anti-schistosomal agent.
