Abstract

Cymbropogon winterianus Jowitt is widely distributed in the Central Highlands (Tay Nguyen) and other places in Vietnam. In traditional medicine, Cymbropogon winterianus Jowitt has been used for the treatment of cold, fever, flu. Althrough there are several publications on chemical composition and biological activities such as antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer activitites of essential oil from Cymbropogon winterianus over the world as well as in Vietnam. However, to our knowledge, the composition and biological investigation of essential oil from Cymbropogon winterianus collected in in Daklak province, Vietnam has not been reported. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to determine the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of Cymbropogon winterianus essential oil, in Daklak province. In this report, we investigated Cymbropogon winterianus essential oil was obtained by steam distillation. The determination of the chemical composition of Cymbropogon winterianus essential oil by Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) showed that there are 42 compounds and the main compounds are citronellal (33.58%), trans-geraniol (16.24%), δ-cadinene (6.33%) and myrtenol (6.09%). In addition, we also tested the antibacterial activity of Cymbropogon winterianus essential oil on E. coli. The results showed that the essential oil had strong antibacterial activity about 98.21% on E. coli.
