Collection, extraction, fractionation and isolation of phytochemical constituents from pandanaceae species / Mohd Bokhari Mohamed Nor

The major objective of this project is to study the phytochemistry in Pandanus species. Several stages were taken in order to accomplish the project. A first stage is the collection of the sample which is Pandanus plants from the local forest. Then, several extraction methods had been done to purify the compound(s) by using several solvents and apparatus. Fractionation of the compound(s) had been done to remove the other impurity which comes together with the pure compound(s). Last but not least, the isolated processes were done to isolate the pure compound(s) that have been obtain. The pure compound(s) that were obtained undergoes several test methods to identify the structure of the compound(s) by using spectroscopic technique such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer, Infrared (IR) spectrometer and UV Visible (UV-VIS) spectrometer.
