Vetiver oil (Vetiveria zizanioides root oil) is an oil extracted from the root of the plant Vetiveria zizanoides (Chrysopogon zizanioides) (Poaceae) which has antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
It is used as a fragrance in perfumes, liquid soaps, shampoos and more.
The roots of Vetiveria zizanoides in India are woven to make window coverings and burned to perfume the environment.
The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed that three major components, including valerenol (18.48%), valerenal (10.21%), and β-Cadinene (6.23%), are found in CXE oil, while a total of 23 components were identified, 48 components less than using conventional hydrodistillation (1).
Two other interesting components have also been identified in Vetiver oil: Khusimol, an essential oil of a certain economic significance and Khusimone (2).
