ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the chemical compositions of the volatile oil in the fruits of Litsea chingpingensis. METHODS: The volatile oil was extracted by wet distillation and its constituents were analyzed by GC-MS. The relative percentage of each constituent was determined by GC area normalization method. RESULTS: A total of 24 chemical compounds were identified, which included ?-Citral (28.32%), ?-Citral (22.28%), Cinene (12.15%), Nerol (4.98%), 1,8-Cineole (4.67%), and 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one (4.35%) etc. CONCLUSION: This study serves as a scientific basis for the further development and utilization of Litsea chingpingensis.
