Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) technique was employed to extract the essential oil from the inflorescence of Zingiber puberulum at 48 Mpa and 40°C of extracting pressure and temperature respectively. The oil was then analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrument. Twe...
