Abstract

The chemical composition of the volatile oil from the stem bark of Pavetta owariensis P. Beauv growing at the North Central of Nigeria was analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The hydro-distillation of the P.owariensis stem back was carried out using a Clevenger apparatus in order to obtain the volatile oil (0.26%). It showed the presence of seventeen (17) compounds. The major chemical composition of the volatile oil obtained are; dodecyl ester (25.97%), undecyl ester (12.27%), dodecanoic acid (12.24%), tetradecanoic acid (10.30%), tetradecyl ester (7.28%) and tetradecanoic acid (6.51%). The study established the chemical composition of the essential oil of the stem bark of the plant.
