Glass & Skornick., The species <em>S.</em><em> tonkinense</em> was used as traditional medicinal plant for treat stomach pain, stomach bleeding or medicinal bath for women after childbirth.</p> <p>The essential oil from the rhizomes of <em>S. tonkinense</em> collected in Tam Dao National Park, Vinh Phuc province (Vietnam) was prepared by steam distillation of fresh material for 3h. The essential oil was obitained in 0.37% yield from the rhizomes (in absolute dry state).</p> <p>The essential oil from <em>S. tonkinense</em> analyzed by GC/MS consists of 42 constituents, accounting for more than 96.18% of the oil content.</p> <p>The major components of the essential oil from the rhizomes of <em>S. tonkinense</em> are: 1,8-cineol (31.78%), E-E-farnesol (10.62%), Myrtenal (8.10%), Borneol (6.64%), β-pinen (5.21%), γ-terpinen (4.82%), 0-cymen (3.89%), 7-epi-α-selinen (2.20%), α-terpineol (2.14%). Eight components were accounted for 1.04 to 1.88% and all the rest components have content less than 1.00%.</p> <p><em>Keywords:</em> <em>Siliquamomum tonkinense</em>, 1,8-cineol,<em> </em>essential oil, Tam Dao National Park.</p><p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={Academia Journal of Biology}, author={Thanh, Bui Van and Binh, Nguyen Quoc}, year={2015}, month={Mar.}, pages={336–339} }
