The identified above-mentioned 15 major and semi-major peaks out of 78 peaks of GC of patchouli oil were identified by GC/MS analysis. These identified 15 components, representing 89.135% of the oil and among them the patchouli alcohol, are the primary candidate molecules containing 32.693% of the oil. During the analysis, the following specification were followed: column: DB5-MS (60 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm); oven: initial temperature 70 °C for 0 min and 2 °C/min to 270 °C for 20 min; inlet: injection volume 0.2 µl, temperature 270 °C, split ratio 50:1, constant pressure mode 20 psi, flow 0.89404 ml/min; detector FID: temperature 270 °C; MS acquisition parameters: acquisition mode scan, low mass 50.0, high mass 550.0, MS source 230 °C, MS quad 150 °C.
