<p>Rose water is the hydrosols obtained by distillation of the petals of the oil rose plant (Rosadamascena Mill.) using the distillation method. In these hydrosols, 2-phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) is themajor compound. PEA compound is widely used in cosmetics, cleaning and food industries, especially inperfumery. PEA compound can be synthesized synthetically in laboratory environments. However, eachsynthesis step and subsequent purification processes increase the cost. In this study, as an alternative tosynthetic methods, purification of PEA compound, which is naturally present in rose water, was carried outusing flash chromatography method. It was studied in the flash chromatography device at wavelengths ofUV1 λ: 254 nm UV2 λ: 265 nm UV3 λ: 274 nm UV4 λ: 320 nm. The pure product obtained was analyzedby GC-MS and it was determined that the PEA compound was 96% pure. With this technique, naturallyoccurring odor components in plants can be obtained with high purity. In addition, since it is close to thepurity of the chemical standards used in the laboratory, higher purity products can be obtained with somecorrections and repetitions in the method parameters. In this way, the products obtained can be used inmany fields as well as used as standard chemicals in the laboratory. Standard chemicals can be obtainednaturally in this way. </p> |
