Abstract:Coriandrum sativum (Linn.) which belongs to the family of Apiaceae locally known as 'Dhania' in Bangladesh.In this study essential oil of the three varieties of Dhania from of Brahmanbaria, Faridpur and Radhuni were investigated by GC-MS. Total four chemical constituents were found by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis from the essential oil of Brahmanbaria Dhania. The oil contained alpha-methyl-alpha-[4-methyl-3-pentenyl]oxiranemethanol; 1,6-octadien-3-ol; 3,7-dimethyl acetate; 2,6-octadien-1-ol; 3,7-dimethyl acetate. Total three chemical constituents were found by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis from the essential oil of Faridpur Dhania. The oil contained alpha-methyl-alpha-[4-methyl-3-pentenyl]oxiranemethanol; 1,6-octadien-3-ol; 2,6-Octadien-1-ol; 3,7-dimethylacetate. On the other hand total, five chemical constituents were found in the Radhuni Dhania. The oil contained 5-ethenyltetrahydro-alpha-5-trimethyl-cis-2-furanmethanol; alpha-methyl-alpha- [4-methyl-3-pentenyl]oxiranemethanol; 1,6-Octadien-3-ol; 3,7-dimethylmyrtenyl acetate; 2,6-octadien-1-ol; 3,7-dimethyl-acetate. The main objective of the present study was focused on identification and quantification of chemical constituents present in the essential oil of Coriandrum sativum Linn by GC-MS methods.
