Abstract
The composition of the essential oil from a new chemotype of Elsholtzia strobilifera Benth. collected from sub-alpine region of central Himalaya, India, has been investigated by Gas Chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. The GC of the oil revealed the presence of more than 50 constituents, of which neral (18.3%) and geranial (29.9%) were found to be the major compounds and an absence of monoterpene hydrocarbons. Acylfuran derivatives, the specific chemical markers of the essential oils from the genus Elsholtzia were not detected.
