Abstract
Cymbopogon giganteus belonging to Poaceae is an aromatic grass and medicinal plant used to treat various diseases in traditional medicine.

The ethanopharmacological evidence showed that cymbopogons Possess array of properties and are used for pest control, in cosmetics and as anti-inflammatory agents, besides holding promise as potent antitumor and chemopreventive drugs. In the present study, Cymbopogon giganteus collected from Gnanabharathi campus, Bangalore university, Bangalore. was studied for the essential oil content and composition. The essential oil was extracted by Hydro-distillation method and the oil was subjected to GC/MS analysis to get fingerprint compounds. Dihydrocarveol was found as major compound (28.52%), followed by D-limonene (10.93%), Cis-carveol(7.38%), Cis-p-mentha-2,8- diene-1-ol(7.57%), Trans-p-mentha-2,8-dienol(13.81%), Carvotanacetone(3.47%), 3- octadecyne(1.65%).
