摘要：Kannauj region is famous for the agriculture of aromaitic crops. Lemongrass is one of the importantaromatic crops for this region. The climatic condition and quality of soil widely affect the production and its oilcomponent. The study explores the production of lemongrass oil and its oil components in Kannauj region. For thepresent study the farming of lemon grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) CKP-25 was done in 100 square meters then oil wasisolated through steam distillation method. This oil was analyzed for its components by GC-MS. The production oflemongrass was about 400 Kg/100 square meters/ year. Whereas the production of lemongrass oil was about 0.77%.The result of the GC-MS reveals that there was 64 different compounds are present in that, the major compounds oflemongrass was β-Myrcene (2.33%), β-ocimene, 2,6-dimethyl (1.76%), β-ocimene (1.84%), 3,3,6-trimethyl-cyclo hex-2-enol (0.56%), Thujone (1.22%), 3-undecyne (1.24%), Neral (30.98%), Geranial (43.67%), 3-undecyne (1.24%),Nerol (3.92%), Geranyl acetate (0.80%), Caryophyliene (1.89%), Cadinene (0.68%), Cadina (0.21%). The overall studysuggests that, the production of lemon grass was higher than the country level production and the yield of oil from thisgrass was equal to the national ratio. The oil of this region contains total 65 chemicals in that the citral content was74.65%.
