  abstract = {{A}lpinia species, used as ornamental plants and flavoring agents, are renowned for their therapeutic properties and their subsequent use in traditional medicines throughout the world. {A}lpinia zerumbet ({P}ers.) {B}.{L}.{B}urtt and {R}.{M}.{S}m. is the most common {A}lpinia species encountered in {M}artinique. {S}everal essential oils ({EO}s) obtained by hydrodistillation of {A}.zerumbet flowers collected in various locations on the island at different seasons were analysed to evaluate the influence of the collection period and area on the {EO}s' chemical compositions and to assess their bioactivity. {A} combination of {GC}-{FID} and {GC}/{MS} techniques was used to examine the volatile constituents, leading to the identification of a total of 71 components accounting for 97.8-99.3% of the respective total {GC}-{FID} areas : among them, nineteen compounds were characterized for the first time in {A}.zerumbet {EO}s. {T}he antimicrobial activity of these {EO}s was assessed against eight bacterial, yeast and fungal strains and two multi-resistant strains: some significant bacteriostatic and fungistatic activities of {A}.zerumbet flower oils were evidenced. {F}inally, an interesting insecticidal activity of the flower {EO} was highlighted for the first time against {A}edes aegypti.},
