HEDYCHIUM CORONARIUM Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Anticancer Research
The plant is widely used for ornamental purposes due to its beautiful, scented flowers (Chiba et al. 2013). The fragrance of the flower is due to mixture of monoterpenoid and benzenoid compounds. L-Linalool, 1,8-cineole and 1,3,7-octatriene-3,7-dimethyl are the main components of petals (Li and Fan 2007; Li and Fan 2011). The flowers of the plants have been mainly used in perfume industries (Chadha 2005; Chan and Wong 2015). The stem has 42–48% cellulose and thus has potential to be used in the paper industries as raw materials (Chadha 2005; Bisht et al. 2012). H. coronarium has also been used as vegetables in different parts of the world. In India the rhizomes, tender shoots and flowers are consumed as raw vegetables in Manipur (Devi et al. 2010; Sarangthem et al. 2012; Singh et al. 2013) and Odisha (Misra et al. 2013). The flower is also consumed as vegetable in Hawaii and Japan (Chan and Wong 2015).
