Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the chemical constituents of essential oil of Acorus calamus from different habitats in order to provide scientific basis of exploitation of A.calamus.METHODS: The essential oil was extracted from A.calamus by steam distillation.The chemical constituents were analyzed by GC-MS.The relative contents of chemical constituents were calculated using normalization method.RESULTS: 39 kinds of chemical components were identified in A.calamus from Yunnan province,accounting for 80.51% of total amount of essential oil.37 kinds of chemical components were identified in A.calamus from Sichuan province,accounting for 81.96% of total amount of essential oil.There were 31 kinds of same chemical constituents in A.calamus from Yunnan province and Sichuan province.The content of ?-asarone was highest in A.calamus from Yunnan province (13.46%) and that of ?-asarone was highest in A.calamus from Sichuan province (10.01%).CONCLUSION:The study can provide scientific basis for the further development of A.calamus.
