[Analysis of essential oil from different organs of Caryopteris tangutica].
Parole chiave

OBJECTIVE
To study the main chemical components of essential oils from Caryopteris tangutica.
METHODS
The chemical compositions of essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from different organs of Caryopteris tangutica were separately analyzed and identified by GC-MS and Kovats retention index. The relative contents of the components by the peak-area normalization method adopted in gas chromatography.
RESULTS
13.48 and 42 components were separately identified from stems, leaves and flowers. The components and relative contents of the leaves were similar with the flowers, and the main constituents were Myrtenal (2.73%, 1.69%), trans-Pinocarvyl acetate (46.69%, 55.48%), Myrtenyl acetate (1.17%, 1.42%), beta-Cedrene (1.62%, 3.21%), Caryophyllene oxide (1.67%, 2.73%) and so on. The components of the stems were different from others, and the main constituents were hexadecanoic acid (47.32%), trans-Pinocarvyl acetate (24.19%), phytol (0.77%).
CONCLUSIONS
The components and relative contents of the essential oils among stems, leaves and flowers were distinctly different, and each of them had a great range of potential utilities and a prospect of development.
