Abstract
The composition of the essential oil of Cymbopogon citratus, obtained in semiindustrial scale, has been analyzed by gas chromatography Reten tion index, relative retention time, and co-chromatography with pure c ompounds were applied. Components were also characterized by mass spec trometry: The identified compounds make more than the 96% of the essen tial oil. Results were qualitatively and quantitatively compared with the composition found in oils of Cymbopogon citratus and Cymbopogon fl exuosus from other producing zones.
