This research project aimed to (1) study the method of extracting essential oil from White champaka flower, and (2) develop a fabric spray using the extracted essential oil. The extraction process utilized an organic solvent extraction technique, followed by solvent removal using a rotary evaporator to obtain the essential oil. The chemical composition of the extract was analyzed by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The experimental results showed that the amount of essential oil extracted varied across the 4 tested conditions using ethanol as a solvent. Among the formulations, Formula 1 yielded the highest amount of essential oil and possessed the most pleasant fragrance. These findings suggest that White champaka essential oil has potential for use in natural fabric spray products, offering both aromatic and practical benefits.
