Percent composition and phytochemical screening of cultivated and tissue culture from essential oil of Pogostemon cablin / Rosnah Radzi

The composition of the essential oils extracted by solvent extraction using hexane and methanol from cultivated Pogostemon cablin and tissue culture of Pogostemon cablin were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (gc-ms). the major component in pogostemon cablin in hexane solution from cultivated Pogostemon cablin is 36.55 % of patchouli alcohol and the major components in methanol solution from cultivated Pogostemon oil is 16.12 % of patchouli alcohol and the major components in tissue culture Pogostemon cablin in methanol solution from tissue culture Pogostemon oil is 11.96% of cyclononasiloxane and the yields from of the hexane extract in cultivated, methanol extract in cultivated and methanol extract in tissue culture were (6.67 %), (8.0 %) and (50 %) respectively. Phytochemical screening test on cultivated plant , methanol extract possessed alkaloid, saponin and flavonoid.
