Hydrodistilled essential oil of Cardamom which obtained using a Clevenger-type apparatus, were analysed by GC and GC-MS. Relative percentage amounts of the separated compounds were calculated from FID chromatograms. n-Alkanes were used as reference points in the calculation of relative retention indices (RRI). Sixty seven compounds were identified, representing 96.9% of the oil. The major components were found to be 1,8-cineole (25.6%), linalool (6.3%), αterpinyl acetate (40.7%)
