Abstract:

In this paper we first report the chemical composition of the volatile oils of the new hybrid (Spring No.1) obtained by cross-breeding of Amomum villosum Lour. The essential oil was laboratory-extracted from the seeds of the new hybrid by hydrodistillation. The average composition as single components for all the oils analyzed is reported. Moreover, the data obtained were statistically analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A total of 44 compounds were identified. The amount of the major compounds of the new hybrid (Spring No.1) were bornyl acetate (30.54 %), camphor (22.3 %), limonene (8.28 %), camphene (6.71 %), β-Caryophyllene (5.14 %), β-myrcene (4.74 %), borneol (3.1 %), etc. It can be concluded that the major chemical constituents of essential oil in the new hybrid (Spring No.1) are terpenes. The volatile oils of the new hybrid analyzed have potential commercial value because they could be an acceptable alternative to the valuable volatile oils of Amomum villosum Lour.
