Abstract
Essential oil composition of the fruit oils of Piperchaba, P. longum and P. nigrum were investigated by GC and GC/MS. Unlike P. nigrum oil, P. chaba a nd P. longum oils were found to contain few monoterpene hydrocarbons, a mod erate content of sesquiterpenes and high content of aliphatic hydrocarbons. The content of caryophyllene oxide (7.4%) was the highest in P. chaha and that of beta-caryophyllene was found to be 33.7%, 10.2% and 5.2% in, P. nig rum, P. longum and P. chaba, respectively.
