✦ Synopsis

Volatile oils obtained by hydrodistillation of the tubers of two varieties (brown and black) of Cyperus esculentus L. (Cyperaceae) were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Nine and 11 compounds, representing 91.7-99.7% of the total volatile oils were identified, respectively, from the brown and black varieties. The most representative compounds were α α α α α-pinene (70.5-75.5%) and α α α α α-thujene (5.2-10.2%).
