Mass spectrometry data on volatile compounds of Huds. leaf essential oil.

Huds., commonly referred to as kesum, is a traditional medicinal plant in Malaysia known for its unique fragrance attributed to its volatile compounds. The essential oil extracted from displayed various benefits, comprised of antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. Therefore, to identify volatile metabolites associated with such biological activities, we performed untargeted metabolite analysis on the essential oil extracted from leaf tissue. After the leaf samples were collected from the INBIOSIS experimental plot, a six-hour hydro-distillation procedure was performed to extract the essential oil, which was then subjected to GC-MS analysis. Thus, this data could provide a reference and benchmark for researchers conducting analyses on volatile compounds in .
