Abstract
The characterization of essential oils from the leaf, pseudostem, root and fruit of Alpinia mutica Roxb. grown in Vietnam was performed by means of gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. The main constituents of the leaf oil were β-pinene (21.3 %), 1,8-cineole (20.9 %), α-pinene (12.5 %) and camphene (7.1 %) while the pseudostem comprised of 1,8-cineole (19.9 %), β-pinene (17.4 %), α-pinene (11.3 %) and camphene (5.7 %). However, β-pinene (23.2 %), 1,8-cineole (18.6 %), α-pinene (12.8 %) and fenchyl acetate (7.0 %) were the significant compounds of the root oil. In addition, β-caryophyllene (22.6 %), β-cadinol (8.9 %) and camphor (7.8 %) were identified in the fruit oil.
