Abstract: “Research on isolation of β-asaron compound from Sweet Flag rhizome Acorus calamus L.. The aims of this research are to isolate and to identify mayor compound β-asaron from Sweet Flag rhizome Acorus calamus L.. Sample from 150 gram dried rhizome, mascerated using n-hexane producing 4,22 grams thick extract. Isolation of n-hexane extract Sweet Flag rhizome Acorus calamus L. carried out by chromatotron methods using a comparison of eluen n-hexane : etil acetat (9:1). The isolate identified by UV-Vis spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectro. From the data result show that isolate is β-asaron.”
