ABSTRACT
In the present research work, the extraction of essential oil from the eucalyptus leaf
"Eucalyptus globulus" was proposed using the technique of distillation by dragging water
vapor and hydro-distillation in order to produce a galenic preparation. Subsequently
analyze its percentage of performance which was not very good, its organoleptic
characteristics such as smell, color, taste and texture obtaining favorable data; and in
turn we analyze physical parameters obtaining a density of 0.9018g / mL, a refractive
index of 1,462, pH of 6, being soluble in organic solvents such as benzine and high grade
alcohols such as alcohol of 96 °. Chemical parameters were also evaluated, such as the
acid number with a value of 0.00028g KOH, a saponification index with a value of
0.00014g KOH which are important in the control of an essential oil, which can be used
in the pharmaceutical industry As much as cosmetic. Finally, the separation of
oxygenated and hydrocarbon compounds from the essential oil and obtaining the galenic
preparation was achieved.
