Comparative study of the essential oils of Monodora myristica from Nigeria

2012
Abstract The essential oils from seeds and stem-bark of monodora myristica (Annonaceae) growing wild in south western Nigeria and used as spice in many parts of Nigeria were extracted by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC- MS. The percentage yields of oils were 2.16%v/w and 0.25%v/w, respectively. The seeds essential oil contained germacrene D-4-ol
