Analysis of Volatile Chemical Components of Coriandrum Sativum L. Seed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

The chemical components of the volatile oil from Xinjiang Coriandrum Sativum L. seed were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The volatile oil was extracted by steam distillation. The extraction yield of volatile oil was w =0.78%. The operating conditions were HP 5 column (30 m×0.32 mm×0.25 μm) and flame ionization detector(FID). The amount of the components from the volatile oil were determinated by peak area normalization method and the components were identified by GC/MS. Twenty one compounds were identified and the amount of the identified components account for 99.84% of all the volatile oil. The main components include aliphatic hydrocarbons, terpenes and their oxygenated derivtives, among which linalool, endo borneol, α fenchene, 1 methyl 5 (1 methylethenyl) cyclohexene and ( Z ) 2,7 dimetheyl 5 yen 3 octen have higher relative contents. The method is reliable and stable.
