Abstract: Vetiver is used for removing heavy toxic metals in groundwater. It is also largely used for medicinal and perfume industry. The main element that we come to know about the Vetiver system is Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is a sterile, non-invasive tropical bunchgrass. We can also use Vetiver (Khus) as a flavoring agent, mainly as Khus syrup, which is produced by adding khus essence to water, sugar and citric acid syrup. Usually, Khus essence is looked as wide dark green in color and it is taken from the roots. It gives a scent and a woody taste distinguishing trait of khus. Another use of Vetiver syrup is to compose Yogurt drinks similar to lassi and Milkshakes, Ice creams, and at last mixed beverages like dessert topping and as a Shirley Temples. It is completely used in a vital level of applications containing with food and pharmaceutical industries. The central purpose of the present research is to discover the phytochemical, antioxidant properties situated in the crude descent of (Vetiveria zizanioides). The methanolic extract as an antioxidant activity reveals a preferable radical scavenging activity than some other selected solvents. FT-IR and GC-MS results point out the presence of Aliphatic, Alkanes includes Aromatic elements chief constituents seemed to be Vetiveria zizanioides. The Conclusion of this study virtually shows that (Vetiveria zizanioides) crude extract could be reflected as health nutrients in pharmaceutical and food industries.
