摘要：
The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from the aerial parts of Mentha arvensis L. (corn mint) and Cymbopogon flexuosus (Steud) Wats. (lemon grass) growing in central India were investigated by GC-MS. The major components identified in the oil of M. arvensis were menthol (71.40%), p-menthone (8.04%), iso-menthone (5.42%) and neo-menthol (3.18%). The main constituents found in the oil of C flexuosus were citral (43.80%), z-citral (18.93%), geranyl acetate (5.27%) and trans-geraniol (3.66%). The antimycotic activity of the essential oils against Fusarium oxysporum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes was also evaluated.
