Analysis of Volatile Components of Tiaoyuan Powder
Objective:Study the volatile components of Tiaoyuan powder and explore its pharmacodynamic material basis for the treatments of autism and related symptoms.Method:Headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and steam distillation (SD) combined with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry technique (GC-MS) were used to analyze and identify volatile components;HS-SPME-GC-MS were used to analyze volatile components before and after decoction.Result:48 volatile components were detected by SD-GC-MS,among them 28 were identified,accounting for 85.44% of the total volatile components.122 volatile components were detected before the decoction,73 were identified,accounting for 75.56% of the total volatile components.50 volatile components were detected after the decoction,27 were identified,accounting for 93.49% of the total volatile components.In three experiments a total of 97 peaks were identified;the highest content was α-asarone.Conclusion:This study not only provided a methodological foundation for volatile components analysis of Tiaoyuan powder,but also provided a reference on phamacodynamic material basis for improving autism.
