The chemical compositions were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ( GC-MS) , and their relative mass fraction of each component was determined by an area normalization method. Results:A total of 38 chemical components were identified, and 23, 16 and 15 components were respectively identified from Achyranthes bidentatae Radix, the salt-processed product of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix and the wine-processed product of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix accounted for 79. 14%, 49. 80% and 44. 57% of the total content of volatile components, respectively. There were 4 types of common volatile chemical constituents in the three products. Compared with Achyranthes bidentatae Radix, 10 types of new compounds were produced and 17 types of old compounds disappeared in the salt-processed product, and 9 types of new compounds were produced and 17 types of old compounds disappeared in the wine-processed product. Conclusion:Different processing methods have some influence on the type and the content of the volatile components in Achyranthes bidentatae Radix. Using HS-SPME-GC-MS combination technique can quickly and effectively obtain the volatile components information for Achyranthes bidentatae Radix, which can provide scientific reference for the quality evaluation and application of the processed products of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix.

Objective:To analyze the volatile components in Violae herba and its mixed product Corydalis bungeanae herba, and distinguish Violae herba from Corydalis bungeanae herba. Methods:The volatile constituents in Violae herba and Corydalis bungeanae herba were extracted by solid phase micro-extraction(SPME),and then analyzed by GC-MS. Results:A total of 62 constituents were detected out,and among them,42 compounds were identified, which mainly were olefins, ketones and aldehydes. Totally 43 peaks were isolated from Violae herba,and among them,28 components were identified, which accounted for 66.93% of the total volatile oil. Totally 22 peaks were isolated from Corydalis bungeanae herba,and among them,17 components were identified,which accounted for 97.02% of the total volatile oil. Conclusion:The volatile components in Violae herba and its mixed product are different in their peak types of total ion chromatograms and chemical compositions with only three same components in total. The highest content of the volatile components in Violae herba is 2-pentanoyl furan (18.01%), and that in Corydalis bungeanae herba is 1-caryophyllene (46. 06%). This test method is fast and stable,which can be used to distinguish Violae herba from Corydalis bungeanae herba.

Objective:To analyze the components of volatile oil in artemisiae argyi folium from different habitats to provide refer-ence for the quality evaluation in artemisiae argyi folium from different areas. Methods:The volatile oil of artemisiae argyi folium was extracted by steam distillation,and the components of volatile oil were analyzed and identified by GC-MS. The relative percentage of each component of volatile oil in artemisiae argyi folium from different habitats was calculated by area normalization method. The com-ponent contents of volatile oil in artemisiae argyi folium produced in Qichun and some other areas were analyzed by stechiometry. Re-sults:A total of 155 components were identified,mainly including compounds of ketones,olefins and alcohols,and the volatile compo-nents of artemisiae argyi folium from different areas were different. The quality of artemisiae argyi folium produced in Qichun was the best. Conclusion:The quality of volatile oil in artemisiae argyi folium produced in Qichun Hubei is better than that produced in other areas. The components of volatile oil in artemisiae argyi folium in the same habitat are also different. The different varieties of artemisi-ae argyi folium need to be further distinguished.

Objective: To establish an HPLC fingerprint of Caryophylli flos. to provide reference for the overall quality evaluation of the herb. Methods: The fingerprint of Caryophylli flos. was established by HPLC, and eugenol was used as the reference peak for the exploration of HPLC conditions. The fingerprint of Caryophylli flos. was established with acetonitrile-0. 2% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase with gradient elution. Results: A total of 17 characteristic common peaks were obtained by HPLC analysis, and among them, five common constituents including eugenol, ferulic acid, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin were calibrated. The similari-ties of chromatographic fingerprint of Caryophylli flos. from 10 different origins were above 0. 900, which was in line with the basic re-quirement of fingerprint similarity evaluation. Conclusion: The study provides experimental basis for improving the quality evaluation system of Caryophylli flos. , and provides reference for a comprehensive quality assessment of Caryophylli flos. .
