- Abstract
The wild Cymbopogongi ganteus (Chiov.) collected from Jnanabharathi campus, Bangalore University, Bangalore was subjected to hydro-distillation for extraction of its essential oil. GC-MS analysis was carried out to study the chemical composition of the essential oil. The yield of the essential oil obtained from hydro-distillation method was found to be 0.2 per cent v/w and a total of 50 compounds were identified. The dominant compounds were found to be Isocarveol (25.89%), trans-p-mentha-2,8-dienol (13.39 %), Limonene (9.66 %), 1,4-Methano phthalazine, 1, 4, 4a, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8 a-octahydro-9, 9-dimethyl-, (1a, 4a, 4aa, 8aa) (8.30%), cis-p-mentha-2, 8-dien-1-ol (6.62 %), Carvone (4.40%) and Carveol (3.19%). These secondary metabolite compounds are known to possess potential bioactivities of medical significance.
