The cold-pressed essential oils derived from three varieties of cardamom seeds and Oil of Cardamom, N.F. were investigated by a gas chromatographic procedure employing open tubular columns. The presence of α-pinene, sabinene, β-pinene, myrcene, α-terpinene, d-limonene, 1,8-cineole, methyl heptenone, γ-terpinene, trans-sabinene hydrate, linalool, β-terpineol, borneol, 4-terpinenol, α-terpineol, nerol, linalyl acetate, geraniol, 4-terpinenyl acetate, α-terpinyl acetate, neryl acetate, and nerolidol reported by earlier investigators was confirmed. In addition, the following previously unreported constituents were tentatively identified: camphene, α-phellandrene, camphor, citronellal, citral, citronellol, ascaridole, geranyl acetate, bisabolene, and farnesol. Identification of isolated fractions was accomplished by gas chromatographic retentions, peak enrichment techniques, and infrared spectroscopy. Qualitative and quantitative data on the composition of the oils examined are presented, and comparisons are drawn between the various oils.
