The volatile oil of the roots of Vetiverianigritana (Benth.)
Stapf was extracted by hydrodistillation for 36 h to yield 1.35%. The physical
and chemical properties were determined according to international standards
and were not compatible with published data. Analysis of the oil by gas liquid
chromatography/mass spectrometry (GLC-MS) technique revealed that the oil was
composed of 50 compounds of which 9 compounds were not identified. The main
constituents were longifolene D (25.1%), 2-hydroxycyperol (9.7%) and
aromadendrene oxide (1) (8.8%). The different and extremely complex composition
of vetiver oil from different geographic regions of the world prompted us to
add that the Sudanese vetiver oil is also different and do not comply with the
"finger print" of the oil in the literature (α- and β- vetivone plus
khusimol).
