The oils were extracted from the plants and identified, quantified in the differences in both control plants and genetically modified plants of in the experimental plants Jasminum grandiflorum, Jasminum sambac and Polianthus tuberosa. Jasmine essential oil has a sweet and floral aroma, There are well over 100 constitutes found in Jasmine, the main chemical components and health benefits of Jasmine is briefly given in this study. Polianthus tuberosa oil has a slightly spicy, heavy, sweet fragrance. Tuberosa oil is not normally used in aromatherapy but in the perfume industry as a component of good quality perfumes and is said to have narcotic properties. Essential oils were collected and stored in a freezer (4°C) for Perkin Elmer Spectrum One FT-IR and Jeol GC mate II GC-Mass spectrometry studies. Samples and essential oils were analyzed by GC and FT - IR identification of total oil content were carried out on a Agilant coupled with Jeol GC mate – II Mass Spectrometer. Results of the analysis of the essential oil of 3 types of flowers are summarized.
