  • Abstract
    The chemical constituents of essential oil of Amomum villosum Lour stem grown in Vietnam was investigated by gas chromatography in combination with (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation. The yield of the essential oil was 0.21% (v/w) calculated on a dry weight basis. The GC/MS analysis of the essential oil revealed the identification of 36 compounds in which β-pinene (48.1%), α-pinene (16.9%) and methyl chavicol (7.0%) were the main constituents. The present result is the first of its kind aimed at the characterization of the chemical composition essential oil from the stem of A. villosum Lour.
