Abstract
Objective:
To analyze the compositions of the essential oil from the rhizome of Curcuma aromatica in Guangxi.
Methods:
The essential oil from the rhizome of Curcuma aromatica was extrated by steam distillation and analysed by GC-MS.
Results:
50 chemical constituents accounting for 93.11% of total content were identified.
Conclusion:
The main components are eucalyptol (53.86%), neocurdione (9.89%), linalool (4.24%), camphor (3.14%), alpha-terpineol (2.94%) and germacrone (2.89%).
