    Abstract: The leaves and stems of <i>Cinnamomum iners</i> Reinw. ex Blume var. Subcuneatum (Miq) W.K. Soh
(<i>C. iners</i>) were collected from Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) as the sample for this study.
A large-scale steam distillation method was used to extract oil from 47 kg of the sample; yielding 0.063%
essential oil. The <i>C. iners</i> essential oil was qualitatively analysed using Gas Chromatography-Mass
Spectrometry (GC-MS) and reconfirmed using the Kovats Index (KI). The analysis showed that the main
components of <i>C. iners</i> oil consists of geraniol (63.65%), linalool (19.42%), (E)-caryophyllene (4.80%), geranyl
propanoate (3.51%), (E)-phytol acetate (1.91%), dill apiole (1.36%), &beta;-selinene (1.01%), &alpha;-selinene (0.98%),
&beta;-pinene (0.98%), (E)-nerolidol (0.64%), &alpha;-pinene (0.63%), (E)-&beta;-ocimene (0.60%) and &alpha;-humulene (0.52%). A
quantitative analysis of linalool (from the extracted essential oil) was conducted using a Gas
Chromatography-Flame Ionisation Detector (GC-FID) according to the Internal Standard Method (ISM). The
linalool concentration was found to be 327 351 ppm.
