abstract = {The leaves and stems of Cinnamomum iners Reinw. ex Blume var. Subcuneatum (Miq) W.K. Soh
(C. iners) 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 C. iners 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 C. iners 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%), β-selinene (1.01%), α-selinene (0.98%),
β-pinene (0.98%), (E)-nerolidol (0.64%), α-pinene (0.63%), (E)-β-ocimene (0.60%) and α-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.}
