Chemical composition and antibacterial activity of rhizome oils from five hedychium species

The essential oils from rhizomes of five Hedychium species, H. coronarium, H. neocarneum, H. flavescens, H. speciosum and H. stenopetalum (Zingiberaceae), were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. Sixty components were identified and percentage oil yields from the fr...
