Chemical composition of rhizome essential oils of Amomum agastyamalayanum and A.
newmanii from south India were analyzed by gas chromatographic techniques. Major
constituents in A. agastyamalayanum rhizome oil were allo-aromadendrene (16.2%), β-
pinene (8.7%) and (E)-caryophyllene (8.5%). Santolina triene (42.2%) and α-pinene (17.1%)
were the major constituents in A. newmanii rhizome oil. Monoterpene hydrocarbons,
oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated sesquiterpenes and …
