These found the uncombined various parts plants employed for flavours, perfumes, cosmetics, beverages, disinfectants, medicines, stabilizers. EO possess constituents mainly sesquiterpenoids, benzenoids, phenylpropanoids etc. The demand C. deodara plant material its essential oil has been increasing pharmaceutical, chemical, food perfumery industries favourable physicochemical characteristics therapeutic efficacy. used as antiseptic, insecticides, anti-inflammatory, molluscicidal anti-fungal. Therefore, main objective this experimental work is investigate effect different particle sizes on yield oil; processing time analysis using GC-MS. Different size namely, grade A (large size), B (medium size) C (small extracted Clevenger’s apparatus measure properties. processed was with n-hexane by maceration process analyse variation From results, it observed that medium-size a higher percentage an optimum surface area release constituents. Temperature variations have direct impact physical well chemical Higher temperatures pressures result ‚harsh‘ aroma changes aromatic properties decrease oil‘s values. Distillation also material. Thin-layer chromatography showed 10 spots colours oil. major constituent‘s obtained after GC-MS α-himachlene (13.83%), γ-himachlene (12.00%), β-himachlene (37.34%), Deodaron (0.43%), α-atlantone (4.53%), Z, γ-atlantone (2.77%), E, (3.34%) (10.63%).
