| Abstract: | The essential oil of ginger (Zingiber officinale) from Fiji was analysed by GC-MS and a number of sesquiterpenes not reported previously in ginger oil were identified including α-copaene, β-bourbonene, α-bergamotene, α-selinene, calamenene and cuparene. The composition of the oil was unusual in having a much higher neral and geranial content than oils reported from India, Australia, Japan and Africa. |
