Abstract
Kewda (Pandanus fascicularis Lam) flowers are commercially hydro distilled to obtain essential oil and attars. The oil is obtained usually in 0.03 to 0.04 % depending on the season and time elapsed between harvests and processing. Extraction with hexane on the other hand provides concrete in 0.315 % yields. Hydro distillation of concrete is found to give a steam volatile oil in nearly double the yield. The oil obtained was analyzed and reported the comparison of the composition with the essen-tial oil obtained in the conventional way.
