Chemical constituents variations of essential oils from rhizomes of four Zingiberaceae species
The essential oils were extracted using the hydrodistillation method from four ZingibeZingiber amaricans, Kaempferia galanga, and Boesenbergia pandurata were identified as E-citral (20.98%), zerumbone (40.70%), ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (58.47%) and camphor (57.97%), respectively. Kaempferia galanga...

| Summary: | The essential oils were extracted using the hydrodistillation method from four ZingibeZingiber amaricans, Kaempferia galanga, and Boesenbergia pandurata were identified as E-citral (20.98%), zerumbone (40.70%), ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (58.47%) and camphor (57.97%), respectively. Kaempferia galanga and Zingiber amaricans were rich in sesquiterpenes whereas Boesenbergia pandurata and
Zingiber officinale var. rubrum contained mostly monoterpenes. |
