DETERMINATION OF THYMOL CONTENT IN DIFFERENT BRANDS OF AJWAIN WATER BY USING SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD AND TITRIMETRIC METHOD

Thymol is obtained from the plant Thymus vulgaris or Trachyspermum ammi seeds belongs to the family Apiaceae. A simple, sensitive spectrophotometric method and titrimetric method was used for the estimation of thymol content in different brands of Ajwain water. The spectrophotometric method was done by using Acetonitrile and water as solvent. The maximum absorbance was found to be at (λ max) 275 nm. The different brands of Ajwain water from market was collected and it was determined for the concentration of thymol.
