Abstract: Polygonum minus comes from Polygonaceae family and used as fragrance and food flavoring. There were four groups of P. minus samples that were stored in cool room at 4-5 °C for shelf-life study (Day 0, Day 7, Day 21, Day 28). The essential oil of each group was extracted by using hydro-distillation apparatus and hydro-steam distillation. Nine compounds of essential oil in P. minus samples were identified by GC-MS analysis with the quality of above 80%. Decanal and dodecanal were the major compounds with the composition of 13-19% and 47-56% respectively. The concentration of decanal present in fresh sample was calculated by single point calibration. As a result the decanal concentration in P. minus essential oil was 169 519 mg/L.
