Analysis of the Volatile Components in Ardisia chinensis Benth. by GC-MS

[Objective] The research aimed to analyze the volatile components of Ardisia chinensis Benth. by GC-MS. [Method] The volatile components of essential oil in Ardisia chinensis Benth. were extracted by steam distillation and identified by GC-MS. [Result] 56 compounds have been isolated from Ardisia chinensis Benth. which representing 84.1% of the total oil. The major components were found to be alkenes, ketones, alcohols, esters and acids and so on. [Conclusion] The study can provide scientific basis for acknowledging the relationship between the chemical components of Ardisia chinensis Benth. and pharmacologic efficiency as well as reasonable exploring and utilizing in future.
