Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the major chemical components in the flower buds, pedicels and leaves of Syzygium aromaticum by Gas-Chromatography Mass spectrometry technique. The major constituent is eugenol in all of   pedicels (79.75%), buds (74.12%) and leaves (51.03%). In addition to eugenol, other important components are Acetyleugenol, Caryophyllene, Humulene, Caryophyllene oxide. Eugenol has a wide range of medicinal value such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-cancerous, anti-diabetic, anesthetic and antioxidant activities.
