The essential oil of greater galanga (Alpinia galanga) from Malaysia

The essential oil of A. galanga, a common spice in Malaysia, was prepared from fresh and dried rhizomes and analysed by means of capillary GC and GC/MS. Forty components were identified (only three of which were previously reported), accounting for 83-93 % of the oil, depending on its method of pre...
