Vetiver oil is extremely complex mixture of sesquiterpenoids, mostly with polycyclic structures with more than 150 compounds, majorly contributed by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (cadinene and junipene), their alchohol derivatives i.e. vetiverols (khushinol, epiglobulol, spathulenol, khushimol, and khusol), carbonyl derivatives i.e. vetivones (α-vetivone, β-vetivone, khusimone, and noonkatone), acid derivatives (khusenic and isokhusenic acid) and ester derivatives (khusinol acetate) (Chou et al. 2016). The major active constituents are α-vetivone, khusimone, khusimol, and β-vetivone and are considered as finger print of vetiver oil (Lavania 2003; Sandhu 2013). Total number of oil constituents was high under low (SSRM5) and intermediate (SSRM10) doses of red mud when compared to control. Rotkittikhun et al. (2010) found highest total number of oil constituents (143 compounds) in vetiver grown in soil treated with 1000 mg kg−1 of Pb in comparison to control plant with 120 volatile constituents in oil.
