Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo analyse the chemical constituents of Artemisia dracunculus.
METHODThe essential oil from A. dracunculus was extracted by steam distillation and the chemical constituents were analysed by capillary GC-MS method. The relative content of each component was calculated by area normalization.
RESULT36 peaks were separated and all of them were identified. The main chemical components were 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-octatriene (38.43%), 1S-alpha-pinene (36.96%), 1-methoxy-4-(2-Propenyl)-benzene (8.57%), limonene (6.33%), 1R-alpha-pinene (3.40%), etc.
CONCLUSIONThe study provided solid and scientific proof for the further exploitation and utilization of A. dracunculus.
