Constituents of plants growing in qatar V. Constituents of the volatile oil of cymbopogon parkeri

Abstract

Analysis of the volatile oil of Cymbopogon parkeri has been carried out by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. To facilitate identification, prefractionation of the oil by adsorption high-performance liquid chromatography was performed. Of the 55 compounds detected, 43 were identified. The major compounds are geraniol (33.55%), nerol (22.21%), geranyl acetate (8.9%), neryl acetate (3.78%), an unidentified sesquiterpene alcohol (4.82%) and farnesol (3.75%).
