Abstract: The essential oil extracted by hydro-distillation from rhizome of Curcuma caesia Roxb. grown in southern India were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A total of 35 volatile essential oil components were identified in the extracted oil of C. caesia representing tropolone (15.86 %) as major compound, ledol (3.27 %), β-elemenone (3.03 %) and α-bulnesene (3.02 %), spathulenol (2.42 %) as minor compounds and borneol (0.85 %), α-terpineol (0.77 %), eucalyptol (0.62 %), caryophyllene (0.45 %) as trace compounds. The results from our analysis indicated that levels of sesquiterpene (62.8 %) were more than those of monoterpene components (1.4 %). © 2014, Har Krishan Bhalla &amp; Sons.

Analysis of Essential Oil Constituents in Rhizome of Curcuma caesia Roxb. from South India

Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants

Objective: Most species have their trademark metabolites or a class of chemicals that are generally disseminated inside the genus variety. Secondary metabolites from the black turmeric are predominantly camphor, terpenes, lactones, alkaloids, and phenols classification. A database was constructed with the predicted absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicity, druglikeliness, and physiochemical properties of the exclusive black turmeric 103 compounds. Methods: The interface has been designed using Microsoft Structured Query Language platform, keeping in mind the ease of use for a researcher. To support this, the entire set of chemicals and their properties was uploaded in database. Database is used as it is very efficient and supports multiple users at the same time.Results: Black turmeric database gives complete data of compounds by means of 4 segments. Physiochemical, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, druglikeliness, and molecular information are displayed with chemical structure.Conclusion: We solidly believe that the information from this database are the sources to infer novel pharmaceutical chemical compounds for medication.
