[Results] A total of 24 and 14 compounds were identified from flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus in the total ion chromatogram,accounting for 99. 573% and 97. 187% of the total peak area,respectively. Main components of flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus include phenols and terpenes,and thymol accounts for 35. 38% and 49. 13% of flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus,respectively. [Conclusions] SPME-GC/MS can be applied in analyzing volatile components of flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus,to provide basis for further development and utilization of T. mongolicus.展开更多

[Methods]Firstly,HS-SPME was used to extract the volatile components from the leaves,seeds,and stems of seven-tip Artemisia argyi,five-tip Artemisia argyi,and golden Artemisia argyi. Their chemical composition was analyzed by gas chromatographymass spectrometry( GC-MS),and the relative mass fraction of each component was determined by area normalization method. [Results] For the same variety of Artemisia argyi,the content of volatile components in leaves was higher than in seeds and stems except camphor,and the content of volatile components in seven-tip Artemisia argyi leaves was higher than in five-tip Artemisia argyi and golden Artemisia argyi leaves.HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis showed that eucalyptol,camphor,thujone,α-pinene,1-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide with higher content were detected in different parts of the different cultivars of Artemisia argyi. [Conclusions]Seven-tip Artemisia argyi leaves were the best medicinal parts of the three cultivars,followed by seven-tip Artemisia argyi seeds.展开更多

Juss.) Roem (TS) were investigated and their characteristic aromatic components were identified using Headspace Solid-phase Microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Olfactometry (GC-O). The optimum conditions for extracting the volatiles from TS were achieved with the experimental parameters including the use of a 65 μm polydimethylsiloxane/divinyl benzene (PDMS/DVB) fibre, an extraction temperature of 40℃ and an extraction time of 30 min. Under these conditions, 56 volatile compounds were separated and 53 were identified by GC-MS. Among them, 21 sulfide compounds (42.146%) and 27 terpenes(55.984%) were found to be the major components. The sample was analyzed by GC-O and 26 elutes were sniffed and their sensory descriptions evaluated by an odor panelists. Analysis of the data indicated, two compounds cis and trans isomers of 2-Mercapto-3,4-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrothiophene were major contributors to the characteristic aroma of TS.展开更多

The TIC chromatograms of 3 batches of fresh roots harvested at different time showed significant difference in the volatile components： the constitution was the same but the content of them was different. More than 60 volatile components in fresh roots （Root of C. wenyujin） and rhizomes （Rhizome of C. wenyujin） of C. wenyujin were detected, of which 51 and 48 volatile components were identified respectively. The fresh roots and rhizomes of C. wenyujin were found to have the similar volatile components. The contents of these components were calibrated by the response of β-elemene. In addition, the principal active component, β-elemene, was further confirmed and relatively quantified by its standard. γ-terpinene showed obvious allylic hydrogen/deuterium exchange using deuterium oxide which gave a new method to identify some compounds containing allylic hydrogen. At the same time, the active hydrogen compounds were also further confirmed.
