## Abstract The analysis of the Egyptian Lemongrass oil by gas chromatography indicated that about 28 compounds were clearly detected from which 17 only were known. The intensities of the identified components proved that Citral is the main constituent in the Egyptian Lemongrass and showed 78% inte

Abstract
The infrared spectrum of the Egyptian lemongrass oil proved that the changes in the samples during storage under different conditions for 4 months at room temperature as well as for the samples stored for 6 months at low temperatures could be detected, specially the changes of the carbonyl groups. In lemongrass oil stored in air for 4 months other bands of the carbonyl groups were noticed at wave number 1600 to 1800 cm^β1^. The latter results proved that specific chemical reactions play an important role under these storage conditions.

## Abstract The chemical components of the Egyptian Lemongrass oil were analysed. The oil gained by steam distillation of the vegetative organs of the plant. Thinβlayer chromatography of Lemongrass oil was tried with two solvent systems, i. e. cyclohexane: ethylacetate with 85:15, and hexane: ethyl
Blakely, isolated by vacuum distillation, were analysed by GC and by GCΒ±MS. Many species contained a-pinene (0Β±27
