The combination of GC and GC/MS analysis of the essential oil obtained from the rhizome of Zingiber roseum Rosc. revealed the presence of over 44 compounds of which 36 compounds have been identified comprising 94.9% of the oil. The oil was found to be rich in linalool (53.3%) with lesser amounts of limonene (14.0%), beta-pinene (9.3%) and alpha-pinene (4.4%) being among the other constituents. The marker components of the family Zingiberaceae such as borneol (0.9%) and beta-eudesmol (1.4%) were found to be present in relatively low concentrations in the oil. This is the first report on composition of the oil from rhizome of Z. roseum.
