Essential oils are hydrophobic compounds which contain volatile compounds. Essential oils contain either essential amino acids or fatty acids. Here essential oil is extracted from Artabotrys hexapetalus flowers. Initially the flowers of this plant undergo steam distillation process. The oil extracted is centrifuged and so pellet in the form of crystals is formed. The formed pellet is dried and are used for further analysis. The analysis tells us about the presence of amino acids, flavonoids, etc., found in essential oil. The formed pellet was subjected to FTIR analysis for validation and purity of the oil.  The free radical scavenging activity was performed for the oil sample. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) is used to assess the essential oil sample from the taken flower. The sample is also subjected under the analyzation of UV/Vis spectrophotometric instrumentation. To analyze the chemical compounds, present in the essential oil, Gas Chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) was also performed. This analysis found the essential components of an essential oil which makes it fragrance and acting against microbes. This oil also identified to have larvicidal activity against mosquito. Anti-microbial activity of essential oil is observed for the effective application of this Essential Oil in the pharmaceutical environment and also to enhance its role in aromatherapy.
