Abstract: The essential oil of spice power was extracted by steam distillation. The antimicrobial activities of the essentialoil, including the inhibition zone, MIC value and inhibition activity of gaseous state were studied. The oil was determinedby GC/MS. 9 compounds have been identified and their relative contents determined by area mormkalization.Cinnamaldehyde and trans-Anethole were their chief components, and their relative contents were 39.79% and 36.4%,respectively.
