Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Essential oil (0.51%) has been isolated from the rhizomes of Zingiber zerumbet from which a white crystalline fraction-A (m.p.620C) has been separated and purified. Another fraction-B (m.p. 660C) has been isolated from petroleum ether (40-600C) extract. The fraction-A & B have been analyzed by, IR, GC/MS. From the above observation it appears that the major constituent of fraction-A & B is same and the structure is possibly 2,6,10- cycloundecatriene-1-one 2,6,9,9- tetramethyl.
