Extraction of Myristica fragrans Houtt.Essential Oil by Dual Enzyme Assisted Steam Distillation and Its Component Analysis by GC-MS
Dual enzyme assisted steam distillation is used to extract essential oil from Myristica fragrans Houtt.in Guangxi,and its components are analyzed by GC-MS.The orthogonal experimental results indicate that the optimal extraction process conditions are enzyme addition amount of 2%,enzymatic hydrolysis pH of 4.0 and enzymatic hydrolysis temperature of 40 ℃.Under these conditions,the yield of essential oil from Myristica fragrans Houtt.is 6.50 mL/100 g.Fifty-six compounds are identified in essential oil by GC-MS and retention index method,accounting for 99.71%of the total essential oil.The main components are myristicin(16.60%),methyleugenol(14.78%),sabinene(13.47%),(+)-limonene(7.29%),terpinen-4-ol(6.75%),elemicin(6.62%),γ-terpinene(4.28%),trans-methyl eugenol(3.73%),β-pinene(3.59%)and safrole(3.22%).
