碩士 === 正修科技大學 === 化妝品與時尚彩妝研究所 === 106 === This research is divided into two parts. The first part is to adopt the method of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid Extraction to extract sage essential oil (Salvia officinalis) and to find out the differences when the procedure is under different pressure conditions. Meanwhile, this research is going to probe into the composition of the extracted sage essential oil. The second part will talk about the effect of the aroma therapy with extracted sage essential oil to improve the sleeping quality for women in menopause. The extracted sage substance is tested by inhibiting DPPH radical to identify its antioxidant capacity, and the extracted component was analyzed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer. Under two different pressure conditions, the extracted experiment gets different results. By 3000 psi, the extracted substance is IC50 180.94mg/L, which is higher than IC50 657.43mg/L by 1800 psi. By 3000 psi, the extracted yield is 1.05%, which is higher than 0.68% by 1800 psi. Through the experimental data, the researcher also can conclude that the extracted substance with 3000psi contains more materials than the one with 1800 psi. The main overlapped materials are the compounds of Cyclic Ether, Flavonoid, and Terpenes. Cyclic Ether and Flavonoid have the function of soothing and calming. They can be applied to relief cramps and to eliminate menopause disorders. The second part of the research is to apply extracted sage essential oil to aroma therapy for women who are in menopause, and to discuss the effect of the improvement for the sleeping quality. This research adopts the approaching of Swedish upper back massage; evaluates the sleeping quality with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and detects the changes with heart rate variability apparatus. The experimental group intervenes with extracted sage essential oil to the aroma therapy. The average heart beats detected by the apparatus has better result in SDNN, Low Frequency, and High Frequency. The performance is better than the control group. According to the statistical analysis of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, this research has reached the effect of sleep quality improvement. It proves that extracted sage essential oil has a significant effect of increasing the activities of parasympathetic nerves. It is able to improve the sleeping quality for women in menopause
