Abstract
The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the leaves, rhizomes and roots of Elettariopsis slahmong C.K. Lim were analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. Thirty-two compounds were identified in the leaf oil, among which aldehydes predominated. The most abundant components were (E)-2-octenal (46.3%) and (E)-2-decenal (36.8%). The rhizomes and roots yielded oil also rich in aldehydes with a “stink bug” odor similar to the leaves, but (E)-2-decenal (79.4%) was clearly the most abundant among the 19 constituents identified.
