Monitoring essential oil quality of Etilingera SP1 GC and GC-MS

Etlingera sp.1 of the family Zingiberaceae is being studied for changes in its essential oil quality during storage. Zingiberaceae comprises about 1200 species of which 1000 is distributed throughout Tropical Asia. Essential oil exists in all species in the genus Etlingera. The highest content is u...
