Abstract
The flavour compound 2‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxy benzaldehyde from normal roots of swallow root (Decalepis hamiltonii) raised in vitro was extracted with dichloromethane, evaporated to dryness and dissolved in ethanol for qualitative (TLC) and quantitative (GC‐MS) analysis. Maximum root biomass and the maximum content of flavour compound (40 ± 2.1 µg g^−1^ dry weight) were recorded after 45 days of growth on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 1.0 mg l^−1^ α‐naphthaleneacetic acid.
