Abstract:
Growth parameters, content and composition of oil in Ceylon Cinnamon in five different agro-ecological zones, IL1a, IL1b, WL1a, WL2a, and DL5 were compared. Statistically predefined number of seed propagated cinnamon samples were collected from agro-ecological zones covering three districts, Galle, Matara, and Hambanthota. The oil extraction was carried out by hydrodistillation technique and the oil contents and the composition were determined by using the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC.MS).
