Abstract

The essential oil from Curcuma phaeocaulis leaves, The chemical constituents of essential oil were extracted from the leaves of Curcuma phaeocaulis by applying steam distillation. The chemical constituents were analysed and identified by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil in the leaves of Curcuma phaeocaulis was extracted and from 36 compounds were identified (77.41% of the total essential oil). The major compounds that were identified by GC–MS were Eucalyptol (26.63%), L-linaloool (6.32%), Camphor (5.22%) and beta- Pinene (4.60%). The antioxidant properties have been assessed by inoxidizability and antibacterial action, find the essential oil from Curcuma phaeocaulis leaves essential oil from Curcuma phaeocaulis leaves and antibacterial are high.
