Abstract: Objective To compare the contents of main compounds and the composition of volatile oil from the new hybrid of Amomum villosum Lour. Spring No.1-F4 with those in its female parent Longfruit No.2. Methods Steam distillation, gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods were used for analyzing the content differences of main compounds and compositions of volatile oil between Spring No.1-F4 and Longfruit No.2. Results The contents of volatile oil and bornyl acetate from Spring No.1-F4 and Longfruit No.2 met the standard required by Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The content of volatile oil from Spring No.1-F4 was higher than that of Longfruit No.2, and there were some differences between the two in the composition of volatile oil and their relative contents. Conclusion The effective constituents in Spring No.1-F4, a new hybrid species of Amomum villosum, has reached the standard required by Chinese Pharmacopoeia, which is expected for solving the problems of difficulty in pollination and for improving the yield and quality of Amomum villosum.
