Abstract:
The volatile fragrant components in hawthorn tincture were analyzed by GC/MS. 38 components were identified. The relative content of these constituents were determined with area mormalizing method and the identification ratio was 97.19%. The main components were 3-Hexen-1-ol(370.59 micrograms/g), Eugenol(320.95 micrograms/g), Butanedioic acid hydroxy, diethyl ester(191.25 micrograms/g), 2-Methyl-pentenoic acid(164.83 micrograms/g) and citric acid(80.87 micrograms/g) etc. The method is simple, rapid and highly sensitive and suitable for routine analysis and quality control.
