Abstract
Oil obtained by hydro-distillation of the dried capsules of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) grown in Uttarakhand, India was analyzed by GC-MS. A total 18 components representing 99.21% of the total oil contents were identified by mass spectra and relative retention indices. The predominant constituents of the oil were found to be 1, 8-cineole (73.27%) followed by α-terpineol (4.23%), limonene (4.2%), α-terpinyl acetate (3.33%), α-pinene (2.9%), terpinen-4-ol (2.82%), β-pinene (2.12%), ν-terpinene (1.8%) andα-bisabolene (1.4%).
Key words: Amomum subulatum, Clevenge, hydro-distillation, essential oil, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
