The results obtained from the analysis shows that 68 compounds were present in varying concentration out of which 16 compounds have appreciable concentration making 75.135 % of the total abundance. The major compound being Caryophyllene (20.643 %) followed by Sabinene (16.711 %) and Terpinolene (8.490 %). The essential oil of Hyptis suaveolens also showed anti mycobacterium activity when tested on strain 7H9/ADC with MIC of 3.13 %. This activity was compared with standard drug Rifampicin which also has MIC of 0.1 µg/ml. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
