The compositon of the essential oil of rhizomes of Kaempferia galanga L. growing in Malaysia has been investigated by capillary GC, GC‐MS and 1 H‐NMR. The oil contained 54 components, of which the major constituents were ethyl trans ‐p‐methoxycinnamate (51.6%), ethyl cinnamate (16.5%), pentadecane (9.0%), 1,8‐cineole (5.7%), γ‐car‐3‐ene (3.3%) and borneol (2.7%). Terpenoid constituents amounted to 16.4%.
