Study on Volatile Constituents from Tamarix ramosissima / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a quantitative analysis of volatile constituents from Tamarix ramosissima.METHODS: The volatile constituents were extracted from T.ramosissima using solid phase microextraction and identified using GC-MS combined with Kvotas retention index.RESULTS: 34 constituents were separated from T.ramosissima and 25 constituents were identified.The relative mass content of volatile constituents was determined by peak area normalization method,accounting for 89.50% of total peak area.The main chemical constituents were pentadecane (16.83%),nonanal (12.45%),hexadecane (8.20%),tetradecane (8.08%) and hexanal (7.37%).The result showed hydrocarbon (37.11%),aldehyde (27.56%),ketone (8.89%) and alcohol (8.04%) were the main constituents.CONCLUSION: The study can provide scientific basis for the further development of T.ramosissima.
