The herbal species of Curcuma caesia Roxb. belongs to Zingiberaceae family. The goal of the present research is to examine the phytochemical components present within Curcuma caesia rhizomes and this information is crucial for comprehending the use of the plant as medicine. In the current work, the rhizome powder is extracted in ethanol by different techniques, such as Soxhlet extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis of the extracts gives detailed information about the phytoconstituents present and this study lists the common phytoconstituents that are present by extraction of the rhizome by both extraction techniques. This information can assist in future phytoconstituent isolation and bioactivity evaluation. The information offered in this paper will also confirm the use of Curcuma caesia rhizomes for therapeutic reasons, opening new avenues for future research into other methods of plant extraction.
