Isolation of chemical compound from etlingera elatior flower shoots

Abstract

This study was focused on Etlingeru elatiur tlower shoots or locally known as ·Bunga Kantan· which was taken from Kuala Berang. Terengganu. The chemical composition from the dried Etlingern elatior tlower shoots was extracted three times using chloroform as the extracting solvent. Alter going through an evaporation process. the chloroform crude extract went through an isolation process. using the thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography techniques (CC).
