ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyse the chemical composition of essential oil from Amomum andamanicum leaves extracted by the hydrodistillation method. Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry were employed to determine the constituents present in the essential oil. The key constituents present in the essential oil predominantly include ?-pinene (49.7%), 1,4,7- cycloundecatriene, 1,5,9,9-tetramethyl-Z,Z,Z- (8.32%), caryophyllene (7.54%), terpinen-4-ol (2.27%) and camphene (1.24%). This signifies the initial recording of the composition of essential oil derived from A. andamanicum. Keywords: Amomum andamanicum, Zingiberaceae, essential oil, hydrodistillation, GC-MS, ?-pinene
