Abstract

Kaempferia galanga is an important medicinal plant belonging to family Zingiberaceae. It forms a component of various Ayurveda medicines. Two morphotypes of K. galanga collected from Arunachal Pradesh and Kerala were evaluated for growth and yield. The volatile oil composition was investigated by Triple quadruple GCMSMS. Result showed the morphotype ArPCG-1 with higher number of tillers, leaves and plant spread. The morphotype KCG-1 exhibited higher growth and yield parameters i.e. leaf area, fresh and dry weight of leaves and higher girth of rhizome. In the GCMSMS analysis, a total of 27 compounds were identified from volatile oil of K. galanga. The dominant compounds identified were Eucalyptol (20.94 %), Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (16.44%), Pentadecane (15.63 %), a-Pinene (12.76 %), Camphene (10.82 %).
