Description Composition and physical properties were investigated of volatile oil from the pericarp of the large cardamom (Amomum subulatum). The volatile oil was obtained by Clevenger hydrodistillation, which resulted in a 0.18% yield. The oil was found to have a specific gravity of 0.9148, a refractive index of 1.4733 and an optical rotation of -7.700. GC MS analysis of the oil led to the identification of 37 compounds, which represented >98% of the total oil. The predominant constituents of the oil were found to be 1,8-cineole (38.7%), germacrene D (3.0%), alpha-pinene (2.8%) and beta-selinene (2.7%). Compared with oil obtained from the seeds, oil from the pericarp contained
