Abstract
The essential oil from the rhizomes of Cyperus distans L.f. obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS techniques. Eight constituents were identified, representing 99.6% of the total oil. The major components of the oil were cyperene (47.6%), α-pinene (18.8%), 1,8-cineole (14.5%) and caryophyllene oxide (7.3%).
