Objective: Clerodendrum serratum (L.) belonging to family Verbenaceae, commonly known as Bharangi, is a popular plant across various communities of India. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a unique technique to prospect various volatile principles and semivolatile compounds.Materials and Methods: The phytoconstituents present in the root of n-hexane extract were evaluated by GC-MS using Clarus 500 mass spectrometer.Results and Discussions: A total of 15 constituents were identified and characterized from the roots of C. serratum L. All the 15 compounds were tabulated with their retention time, percentage peak area, molecular formula, molecular weight, and Chemical Abstracts Service number. Out of all the compounds, 60% comprises the oxygenated compounds. Compound hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, and benzene, 1,3-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) showed highest percentage about 6.5 and 74.9, respectively.Conclusion: This study showed the presence of 15 compounds ranging from alkane, alkene as longest chain along with ester, aromatic and nonaromatic hydrocarbons.

Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of leaves of two Nigerian species were analyzed for their constituents by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The leaf oil of Ficus benjamina L. (Moraceae), collected during the day, contained high contents of α-pinene (13.9%), abietadiene (9.7%), cis-α-bisabolene (8.2%) and germacrene-D-4-ol (8.4%), while the night sample was dominated by germacrene-D-4-ol (31.5%), 1,10-di- epi-cubenol (8.8%) and hexahydrofarnesylacetone (8.3%). This could be a possible indication of differences in emissions of volatiles by F. benjamina during the day and night. The main compounds of Irvingia barteri Hook. f. (Irvingiaceae) were β-caryophyllene (17.0%), (E)-α-ionone (10.0%), geranial (7.6%), (E)-β-ionone (6.6%) and β-gurjunene (5.1%).

The essential oil composition from the aerial parts of Baccharoides lilacina (Dalzell & A. Gibson) M. R. Almeida was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). A total of 41 compounds have been identified, representing 97.4% of the total oil. The main constituents were identified as β-caryophyllene (27.7%), epi-α-cadinol (25.1%), caryophyllene oxide (9.9%), α-muurolol (7.6%), α-cadinene (6.1%) and α-cadinol 4.5%). The oil was found to be rich in oxygenated sesquiterpenes (47.1%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (46.2%).

The goal of this study was to investigate the essential oil compositions of different parts (stem, leaf, flower and mixture) of Lavandula x intermedia in Bismil-Diyarbakır,Turkey. The chemical composition of essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from fresh Lavandin samples were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results indicate the major components of the studied parts of lavandin was; linalool (24.97-2.52-43.86-39.43 %), linalyl acetate (3.,4-0.29-9.37-15.76 %), eucalyptol (33.81-43.81-18.47-12.08 %), camphor (13.12-15.91-8.72-9.21 %), endo-borneol (2.03-5.18-0.68-1.24 %) and alpha-terpineol (2.84-2.47-1.28-3.86 %) in essential oils of stem, leaf, flower and mixture parts of fresh lavandin respectively. It was understood that linalool and linalyl acetate level were the highest in flower and mix parts while eucalyptol, camphor and endo-borneol levels were the highest in stem and leaf parts of the plant.

Abstract: In this study the essential oils of Salvia officinalis growing in Sudan, were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by Gas chromatography mass spectrometer, forty tow compounds were identified. The essential oil composition of S.officinalis found that it had many important compounds. The detected main compounds were oxygenated monoterpenes followed monohydrocarbone, squiterpenes and other compounds. The main essential oil constituents were α-terpineol (33.07%), camphor (11.57%), α-pinene (8.96%) camphene (5.09%) β-cymen (5.40 %) caryphyllene (3.76%) β-myrcene (3.65%) β-menth1-en-b-ol (3.45%) bomeol (3.38%) β-pinene (2.74%) Epiglobulol (2.59%) 1,8 Cineol (2.24%) and trans-β- terpinyl butanone(2.00% ).

Helichrysum thianschanicum Regel was collected from Khorugh town of Kuhistoni Badakhshon Autonomous Province of Tajikistan. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. A total of 67 compounds were identified representing 88.4% of the total essential oil composition. The major components of H. thianschanicum essential oil were ( E)-1-(6,10-dimethylundec-5-en-2-yl)-4-methylbenzene (pentylcurcumene) (21.6%), β-selinene (6.4%), δ-selinene (3.8%), (2 E, 6 E)-farnesol (3.3%), nerol (4.1%) and neryl decanoate (4.2%). To our best knowledge, no previous studies have been reported on the chemical composition of the essential oil of H. thianschanicum.
