SummaryFifteen main volatile compounds in Chinese Coriandrum sativum L.were separated and identified by gas chromatography -mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Fresh Chinese Coriandrum sativum L. was ground and its volatile compounds were extracted by SPME with a 100 gm polydimethylsiloxane fiber. The fibers were desorbed in a GC injection liner at 250 ~ for 3 min. More than 15 peaks were separated by headspace SPME-GC-MS analysis. The main compounds in headspace of Coriandrum sativum L. identified by mass spectrometry included decanal, 2-decenal, 1-decanol, trans-2-decen-l-ol, trans-2-decen-l-al, trans-2-tridecenal etc, which were verified by reference compounds. Their relative contents were calculated on basis of peak areas. SPME extraction conditions and capillary chromatography column used to separate the volatile compounds were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
