“…The essential oils included sabinene and terpinen-4-ol as major volatile terpenes [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The extracts and constituents of Z. cassumunar have diverse bioactivities, including antioxidant [ 21 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], anti-inflammatory [ 7 , 9 , 12 , 19 , 23 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], anticancer [ 8 , 13 , 15 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ], neuroprotective/neurotrophic [ 14 , 19 , 20 ], cosmeceutical [ 17 , 21 ], and antifungal/antibacterial [ 22 , 23 , 24 ] activities. Although there has been a review of the clinical effects of various formulations using Plai ( Z. cassumunar ) on were pain relief, acne treatment, and antihistamine [ 1 ], there has been no previous report summarizing the accumulated studies in the literature on the phytochemicals and in vitro and in vivo biological properties of Z. cassumunar , including our previous studies that have contributed to discovering the chemical diversity and biological activities of this plant […”

Zingiber cassumunar Roxb. (Zingiberaceae), is an important medicinal plant known as “Plai (Phlai)” in Thailand, “Bangle” in Indonesia, and “Bulei” in China. Traditionally, this plant has been used to treat inflammation, pain, and respiratory problems. The rhizomes are the primary part of the plant that has been used for medicinal purposes due to their constituents with therapeutic properties, including phenylbutenoids, curcuminoids, and essential oils. Since the 1970s, many studies have been conducted on the phytochemicals and bioactivities of Z. cassumunar to establish fundamental scientific evidence that supports its use in traditional medicine. The accumulated biological studies on the extracts, solvent fractions, and constituents of Z. cassumunar have described their diverse medicinal properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective/neurotrophic, cosmeceutical, and antifungal/antimicrobial bioactivities. In this review, we summarize information on the phytochemicals of Z. cassumunar and the bioactivities of its extracts and constituents.

“…[2] We recently reported the chemical profi les of the rhizome oils of Z. nimmonii (b-caryophyllene, a-humulene) and Z. neesanum (phenylbutanoids) from this geographic region. [8,9] Rhizome oils from other gingers, such as Z. cassumunar (Z. montanum, phenylbutanoids) [10,11] , Z. wrayi var. halabala (transanethole) [12] , Z. ottensii (zerumbone, terpinen-4-ol) [13] and Z. roseum (a-pinene, b-pinene, limonene) [14] from various geographical locations have also been characterized.…”

Zerumbone is a sesquiterpene phytochemical with potential anticancer, anti-infl ammatory, anti-HIV and other biological activities, most abundantly found in Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith. Previous studies reported 12.6-73.1% of zerumbone in Z. zerumbet rhizome oils from various geographical locations. In a careful review of the literature, we found that most of the previous gas chromatographic profi ling studies on volatile oils of Z. zerumbet were inadequate, since they were based on poor identifi cation and quantifi cation procedures and also on single-sample data. In this study, we report the chemical profi les

“…Techniques such as gas chromatography flame ionization detection (GC-FID), GC-MS, GC-MS-MS etc. result in the separation of the volatile mixture, and subsequent identification and quantification of its individual constituents [59,60]. Identification of the fragrance constituents may also be accomplished through infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy [61].…”

“…In most cases, isolation is limited to major oil constituents. 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, 2 D-NMR, IR and MS techniques provide data on the structural features of isolated oil constituents, leading to their characterization [59,[76][77][78][79]. Further, advanced Fourier transform-IR techniques are now used for the classification and quantification of essential oils and chemotaxonomy of essential oil bearing plants [80,81].…”

“…As mentioned in Section 7.1, a number of essential oil-bearing species, especially in the biodiversity-rich and remote spots on Earth, are yet to be screened for their chemical composition and potential antimicrobial constituents [59,203]. Biosynthetic studies on potential essential oil constituents, providing data on their enzymatic pathways, could give us suitable tracks towards engineering the enhanced production of these constituents by the source plants.…”

Essential oils are complex mixtures of plant secondary metabolites, composed mostly of terpenoids. They show considerable structural diversity with even nitrogen-and sulfur-containing compounds as their constituents. In plant systems they act, according to the design, as defense compounds against microbes, herbivores and other ecological factors. Essential oils have applications as antimicrobials, food preservatives, flavours and cosmetics. They are also used in clinical applications and aromatherapy. This article describes new essential oil based antimicrobial strategies, particularly giving emphasis to essential oil constituents. A range of recent mechanistic studies of essential oil constituents is compiled. The mode of action of essential oils as antimicrobials, specific assay techniques and other recent developments in these areas are also addressed. Further, the evolution of research on essential oils, biosynthesis extraction techniques, chemical analysis, physical parameters, olfactory evaluation and other basic concepts are also described.
