บทคัดย่อ

Zingiber ottensii Valeton is a medicinal plant that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. It has been used as traditional medicine to relieve pain and inflammation in many local communities, especially in the lower southern region of Thailand. Three accessions of Z. ottensii, including Yala-1, Yala-2, and Yala-3, were collected from three different sub-districts of Than To District, Yala Province. The rhizome oils of three accessions were extracted using the hydrodistillation method before being analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Twenty-four chemical compounds representing 88.77–94.89% of essential oils were identified, which consisted of zerumbone, terpinene-4-ol, α-humulene, and sabinene as major constituents. Zerumbone is a monocyclic sesquiterpene that was found in the highest percentages of rhizome oils of Yala-1 (51.26%), Yala-2 (46.32%), and Yala-3 (36.71%). In addition, the soil of three cultivation areas was analyzed for plant nutrients, which included organic carbon (OC), organic matter (OM), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Soil samples from the Yala-1 cultivation area exhibited the highest percentages of OC, OM, N, and K. These results may indicate that soil fertility has a positive effect on the rate of zerumbone in Z. ottensii’s rhizome oil, which would provide the benefits of soil-improving management for maximizing the yields of Z. ottensii cultivation and zerumbone contents.
