Abstract

Qualitative and quantitative component composition of essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of exhaustive pounded until powdery state roots and rhizomes of aromatic plants of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) – Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and turmeric (Curcuma longa L. ) was studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry It has been shown that the essential oil of ginger comprises 30 components, of which 27 were identified, constituting 95,5 wt.% of the injected sample total weight. It has been determined that the predominant components are sesquiterpenes (~ 73 wt.%). The main component of the ginger essential oil is tsingeberen (30,1 wt.%). Total number of essential oil components of turmeric – 22 of them identified 17 compounds, which accounted for 97.4 wt.%. The predominant component of turmeric essential oil are also sesquiterpenes (~ 90 wt.%), most of them - oxygenates. The main components of the turmeric essential oil are turmerones isomers (54 wt.%)
