Clove oil was obtained by distillation and the oil was extracted using an alkaline solution until eugenol and nonpolar extract were obtained. β-Caryophyllene was isolated from nonpolar extract using preparative thin layer chromatography. The crude essential oil and isolation-producted compounds were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results of lessThan i greaterThan in vivo lessThan /i greaterThan assays showed that inhalation of isoeugenol had a potential for slimming by decreasing body fat tissues of rats. Lipid profile tests showed a decrease of triglyceride concentration in the clove oil group and the eugenol group compared to our negative control. In addition, there was a trend of decreasing body weight and total cholesterol concentration for the clove oil treatment.
