| Résumé : | The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the leaves of Amomum cannicarpum (Wight) Bentham ex Baker, (Family: Zingiberaceae) was analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS. Individual components of the oil were identified by their mass spectra which were compared with published work. Twenty-nine compounds were identified, of which the major components were β-pinene (9.0%), caryophyllene oxide (6.6%), β-bisabolene (6.4%) and δ-cadinene (6.2%). The oil showed significant antimicrobial activity against certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as against two fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus). |
