Composition of Leaf and Rhizome Essential Oils of Hedychium coronarium Koen. from Brazil

Hydrodistillation of fresh leaves and rhizomes of Hedychium coronarium collected in the Atlantic rain forest of southeastern Brazil afforded essential oils in 0.68% and 0.20% yields, respectively. Analysis of the oils by GC and GC/MS revealed as predominant constituents in the leaf oil b-caryophylle...

Zusammenfassung:Hydrodistillation of fresh leaves and rhizomes of Hedychium coronarium collected in the Atlantic rain forest of southeastern Brazil afforded essential oils in 0.68% and 0.20% yields, respectively. Analysis of the oils by GC and GC/MS revealed as predominant constituents in the leaf oil b-caryophyllene (43.0%), caryophyllene oxide (12.1%)and b-pinene (11.6%,), whereas 1,8-cineole (34.8%), b-pinene (16.7%) and a-terpineol (13.1%) were the major components identified in the rhizome oil.
