Chemical composition of Vetiveria nigritana from Koulikoro Area

Oil was obtained from roots of Vetiveria nigritana (Benth.) Stapf collected in Koulikoro and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Fifty-four constituents (79.7% of the whole oil) were identified. Prezizanoic acid (15.0%), preziza-7(15)-en- 12-ol (9.5%), cedren-8-en-15-ol (6.2%), preziza-7(15)-en-3α-ol (6.0%) and zizanoic acid (5.9%) were the major componelits of Vetiveria nigritana oil
