Determination of the chemical component of volatile oil of Artemisia argyi from Anhui by GC-MS
Objective:To determine the primary chemical component of volatile oil from Artemisia argyi growing Anhui province.Methods:The volatile oil was extracted by supercritical CO2 extraction technique,and its primary chemical component was measured with gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS).The relative oil percentage in the Artemisia argyi was calculated by area normalization method.Results:A total of 48 chemical components was isolated from the volatile oil,in which artemisol content was the highest (10.26%),followed by oleic acid amide (6.51%),cyclohexanone (5.07%),13-docosenamide,(Z)-(4.73%),heptacosane (3.65 %),phytol (3.61%),hexadecanamide (3.38%),bicyclo [3.1.1] hept-2-en-6-one,2,7,7-trimethyl-(2.56%),and O-cymene(2.21%).Ketone and alcohol were in major proportion.Conclusion:The chemical components in the volatile oil from Artemisia argyi growing in Anhui province are different from the species in other origins.
