Abstract:
The essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the aerial parts of Hyptis suaveolens (L.) Poit. from Vietnamese origin was analyzed by a combination of capillary GC and GC/MS. More than 45 components were identified, of which eugenol (68.2%) and germacrene D (11.0%) were the major constituents of the oil.
