ResumoAbstract The composition of the essential oil of Zingiber cassumunar Roxb. from Indonesia was examined by GC and GC‐MS. A major part of the oil consists of monoterpenes with sabinene and terpinen‐4‐ol as main constituents. Sesquiterpenes accounted for a small part of the oil with sesquiphellandrene being the principal constituent. In addition to these terpenes the oil contains a number of phenylbutanoids. The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation contained about 25 % of these phenylbutanoids whereas the oil obtained by extraction with light petroleum had about 46 %, with trans ‐l‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)but‐l‐ene, trans‐ l‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)butadiene and trans ‐4‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)but‐3‐ene‐l‐yl acetate as the main constituents.
