Abstract

Several methods of extraction of volatile oils from the Coriadrum Satinium L. seeds were experimented, and the best method was determined when the seeds were soaked with organic solvents at room temperature. The hexane is considered a good solvent to extract total and volatile coriander seeds oil. The following physical and chemical properties of  extracted  coriander seeds oil were studied: refractive index, density, acidity, acid value, moisture, volatile substances, saponification value and absorptivity in ultraviolet UV. It was found that coriander seeds oil is cannot be used as cooking or food oil. The long-term stability was studied for coriander seeds oil. It was found that the main total quantity of coriander seeds oil and its components was decreased interval of time
