Abstract:
Essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the leaf of Amomum aculeatum Roxb. grown in Vietnam were analysed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Monoterpene hydrocarbons (57.4 %) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (30.1 %) were the main class of compounds present in the oil. The main compounds were identified to be limonene (20.8 %), valencene (18.0 %), α-phellandrene (8.7 %), α-pinene (6.9 %) and bsequiphellandrene (6.1 %). The volatile oil contents were being reported for the first time.
