| Abstract: | In the present study volatile oil profile of the four popular varities of large cardamom (Amomum sububulatum Roxb.) namely Sawney, Varlangey, Ramlaand Ramsey were studied in detail. The capsules contained 58.1- 68.1% seeds and 1.2-2.8% essential oil. By GC-MS analysis 23 constituents of the oil were identified with 1,8-cineole as the chief component. Major constituents of the oil were α - pinene (1.7-6.5%), β - pinene (4.0-11.1%), 1,8-cineole (63.2-73.4%) and α - terpineol (5.6-7.6%). The oil contained high level of 1,8-cineole when compared to small cardamom (Elettaria cardamom Maton). α -Terpinyl acetate, the chief component of small cardamom oil was not detected in large cardamom. |
