Extraction Methods are:
1. soxhlet extration 2. clavenger type apparatus for oil extraction
3. Chromatographic techniques like Paper chromatography, TLC, Column Chromatography
and identification can be done by using GC-MS, IR, NMR etc.
I hope this information will be helpful for you. for more info you can ask to me or see my papers.
I recommend you SPME to extract volatile compounds just before a GC/MS analysis. There are many reference articles. It was our choice and it worked very well. Good luck!
