Introduction

The essential oil of Gardenia jasminoides was extracted through hydro-distillation. Its chemical composition was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and compound identification was supported by Kovats Index (KI) values. The major constituents of the essential oil were identified as linalool, ?-farnesene, (Z)-3-hexenyl tiglate, and trans-?-ocimene.
