Objective:
To analyze the differences of volatile components of medicinal materials from Perilla frutescens (Perillae Folium; Perillae Caulis; Perillae Fructus).
Methods:
The volatile components were identified by HSGC/MS. The relative percentage content of the components were determined by peak area normalization method and the content change of common components were determined.
Results:
47 compounds were separated and identified from Perillae Folium, 39 compounds were identified from Perillae Caulis, 46 compounds were identified from Perillae Fructus. There were 17 common components of the three groups. For example, beta-Caryophyllene, Perillaketone, Caryophyllene, Limonene, Linalool, 1-Octen-3-ol, alpha-Bergapten and Apiol.
Conclusion:
It provides basis scientific explanation to the differences of traditional efficacy of medicinal materials from Perilla frutescens.
