Artemisia argyi leaf is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In this work, for the first time, the separation and identification of volatile constituents in Artemisia argyi flowers is performed. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is developed for the fast analysis of volatile constituents in the flowers. Several headspace SPME param...

The peel volatile constituents and juice quality parameters of four tangerine cultivars were investigated in this study. Peel flavor constituents were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. Then all analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Total soluble solids, total acids, pH value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from tangerine cultivars. F...

To identify volatile constituents in Typhonium giganteum Engl., and clarify their effects on proliferation of breast cancer T47D cell lines. Volatile constituents in Typhonium giganteum Engl. are extracted by steam distillation, and determined by GC-MS. 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment of T47D cells with different concentrations of Typhonium giganteum Engl. volatile (DJL-V) constituents, methyl ...

In a study to determine the stability of the main volatile constituents of Nigella sativa seeds stored under several conditions, eight storage conditions were established, based on the ecological abiotic effects of air, heat, and light. Six replicates each were prepared and analyzed with Headspace-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) for three time points at the initial (1st day (0))...

Patterns of volatile metabolites in urine, as obtained by glass-capillary gas chromatography, were investigated by use of a nonparametric pattern-recognition method, in an effort to detect abnormalities associated with diabetes. We used threshold logic unit analysis on a data set consisting of normal subjects and those with diabetes mellitus, and could predict patterns for volatile metabolites ...

volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori, agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocyanate (0.5%), n-...

Rosemary is commonly used as a spice and a flavoring agent in food processing. Although the antioxidative properties of its extracts have been investigated, there have been few reports on the volatile components of rosemary. We designed a novel antioxidative system which can generate the volatile constituents in the gaseous phase from a rosemary extract and evaluated the gaseous antioxidative a...

       Volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori, Agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocy...

A steam distilled volatile oil obtained from the leaves of Chrysanthemum indicum Linn. (FamilyCompositae) was analyzed by capillary GC and GC-MS. The volatile oil mainly comprises of thirty nine (39) components out of which thirty one (31) constituents comprising 82.6% of the oil were identified. The volatile oil mainly contains monoterpenes (48.1%). Isoborneol, a monoterpene, was the predomina...

The constituents of honey's volatile compounds depend on the nectar source and differ depending on the place of origin. To date, the volatile constituents of Tualang honey have never been investigated. The objective of this study was to analyze the volatile compounds in local Malaysian Tualang honey. A continuous extraction of Tualang honey using five organic solvents was carried out starting f...
