Abstract :
Terpenoid constituents’ concentration of Aframomum melegueta using hydrodistillation and solvent
methods of extraction were carried out using Gas Chromatography ( GC) . Forty seven compounds
were detected in each method with ?-cardinol(15.75%), cis-calamenen-10-ol(7.76%) B-
panasinsene(6.37%) caryophylene oxide (6.85%), ?-muurolol (5.70%) and cubenol (5.53%) as major
constituents in hydrodistillation method and ?-cardinol (21.79%) , ?-muurolol (9.56%) , ciscalamenen-
10-ol (4.62%), B-panasinsene(4.52%), ?-ylangene (3.04%) and ?-cadinene (3.14%) as
major terpenoids for solvent extraction method. The result showed that the yield and concentration of
compounds obtained depend on extraction method, with solvent extraction having higher yield and
higher concentrations of the terpenoids.
