<abstract> <p>The Pure Dew (Cypress Hydrolat), which could be extracted from the waste material after the extracting essential oil from Taiwan cypress, has a good bactericidal effect. However, due to the high cost on quality control and concentration measurement of the Pure Dew, its application was restricted. This research tries to find suitable spectral frequencies through which the absorbance detected by the spectrometer could be used as the index of the pure dew concentration. This study used Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS) to analyze the composition of Taiwan cypress hydrolat. After obtaining the composition, the raw liquor of cypress hydrolat was diluted to 100, 50, 25 and 0% v/v with pure water. The test samples were then tested by a simple spectrophotometer. After the spectrographic detection of absorbance using a simple spectrophotometer, it is confirmed that the spectrum of wavelength between 205–350 nm is the most representative. The absorptance and the pure dew concentration was roughly in linear relation which suggested that a simple spectrophotometer can be used to develop a low-cost and high.</p> </abstract>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
