| Abstract: | "The chemical composition of essential oils obtained from the hydrodistillation of different parts of Amomum maximum Roxb and Amomum muricarpum C. F. Liang & D. Fang (Zingiberaceae) grown in Vietnam are reported. The analysis was performed by means of gas chromatography-flame ionisation detectoorand gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The major compounds identified in the oils of A. maximum were beta-pinene (20.4-40.8%), alpha-pinene (6.8-15.0%), beta-elemene (2.5-12.8%) and beta-caryophyllene (2.3-10.3%). Moreover, beta-phellandrene (11.6%) was present in the root oil. The main compound identified in all the oil samples of A. muricarpum was alpha-pinene (24.1-54.7%) and beta-pinene (9.2-25.9%). In addition, limonene (7.4%) and delta-3-carene (9.4%) were present in the leaves and stem oils, respectively. However, while beta-phellandrene (8.3%) could be seen prominent in the root oil, the fruits contained significant amount of zingiberene (6.3%). The largest amount of tau-muurolol (13.0%) was found in the flower oil" |
